Hi,

As some of you have noticed, several Indian languages have celebrated/are celebrating tenth anniversary. Telugu language community is contemplating release of Telugu wikipedia content on a CD with appropriate modifications for School children use.  The CD is proposed to be distributed to all schools in Andhra Pradesh.

Out of 9053 (approximate) images, 2071 (30%) are non free images(mostly book cover, cinema posters, logos etc) .   We are looking for advice on the following

A) Whether we can include all the non free content on CD?

B) Whether WMF/WMIN  will approve the use of Wikipedia Logo on the cover?

C) Any other precaution/disclaimers that need to be included on CD to prevent any legal dispute in future.

As Malayalam community has produced a CD in the past and there have been attempts to produce an English School Wikipedia CD for India, I would like to hear from people with experience and expertise on these matters

Cheers
