And yes, Project Gutenberg is a totally separate entity. As a volunteer organization, PG in the United States simply could not deal with the legal complications that would be brought up in becoming a "multi-national".
I believe the only legal relationship is that PG of Canada has been granted the right to use the "Project Gutenberg" trademark.
I think that's correct as well. The other thing that would/should have to be done, would be to open up a relationship with Distributed Proofreaders to create a third DP site (in addition to PGDP and DP-EU). That's more technical than legal, as the (amazing) DP infrastructure is developed on a share-and-share-alike basis.
