[Corpora-List] What's best practice for publishing your research results (corpus data) online?

[Roman Yangarber]

Specifically regarding under-resourced languages: when contacting 
copyright holders,
it may help to mention to them that sharing can bring some benefits.
By granting you the needed rights, they will help to create resources 
for the language,
which will strengthen the language, its image, etc.  Even the novelist, 
who may have interests
in protecting the copyright, may benefit from the distribution of some 
of his work, which you will provide.

Best of luck
