Dear Ravi,
The works are no doubt out of copyright, but the particular collection,
edited and paginated by GoK is what have been re-released in CC. They have
so far provided softcopies of 4 books. I am trying to get the remaining
books as well.
Thanks and regards,
Pavanaja

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.
