Hi Pavanaja,

Please excuse my ignorance regarding Kannada Literature.

Are we talking about the works of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purandara_Dasa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanaka_Dasa

and works like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasa_sahitya

These seem centuries old and should be already available in public domain with no copyright claims. Why woud we need them re-released under Creative Commons?

If Dept of Kannada & Culture, Govt of Karnataka provides access to readily available digitized sources, it is an important gesture and I appreciate the effort behind this. But, not sure on the copyright part.

Could you please clarify?

Thanks.

Ravi,

Program Director, Wikimedia India Chapter.
