Dear Chakravarthy,
Most certainly! Anyone from the community (including
eTelugu.org) should
be able to FREELY use it, study it, share/redistribute it and improve it.
All the four freedoms on which Wikipedia is being built by all of us.
). Wikipedia content
is released under CC-BY-SA or equivalent or bettter licenses from the point
of view of sharing, Of course the software that runs could meet with four
freedoms.
Whenever the CD is ready a copy can be given to
eTelugu.org and you could
make and distribute as many copies as possible. We could even make a
soft-copy available for free download. The more the better :)
+1,
The CD preparation involves lot of work. Please see the discussion and
links on
Best,
Vishnu

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.

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
