Dear Vishnu / Arjuna Rao,

While I'm reading this conversation, I'm also in couple of thoughts. Please let me know if I'm not spoiling the interest of this discussion.

Once the CD is ready for distribution, do you think that it would be a good idea to share with the community at a minimal cost? The reason behind this question is that, as part of eTelugu.org, it is a practice that we participate in the book exhibition that happens during the last week of December. I'm just wondering that if we can distribute that, it would be a great initiative.

What do you folks (or) anyone think of this idea?

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for informing Arjuna garu.

AFAIK we could go ahead and use these images as per the fair use clause if Indian Copyright Act, especially for the purpose of education. We could even print a disclaimer on the CD.

Thanks for your response. We do need to have solid institutional ownership for the CD.

It will be useful to write to Malayalam Wikimedia Community members also to check how they have resolved this issue.

Shiju has responded on another thread and I updated the link he shared on our discussion page. https://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/వికీపీడియా:దశాబ్ది_ఉత్సవాలు#సిడి తయారీ సాధ్యాసధ్యాలు

It will be a good initiative if we could replace as many such images as possible with free licensed ones. Would be nice if we could try to take it up as a community project for the next 45 days. I will do my two cents of contribution for this.

Yes, But for many logos, maps related to our culture , context, it is close to impossible.

This will be a great initiative as it helps to cleanup our image content, irrespective of the final scope of CD.

I request more people across the City and Language SIGs to participate in this initiative.

Cheers
Arjuna
