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 http://te.wikipedia.org 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
