@Rajesh @Ravi @Anivar @Pavanaja Don't you think
CC0 (Public Domain) is the
best license for this? We always back off from using the government
produced books and content unless it is stated to used by public without
restrictions. But data that has been in circulation among people doesn't
require to be copyrighted even for just digitizing. We should surely
discuss this at large.
CC0 applies only if the Govt of Karanataka Owns current copyright of it and
want to make it public domain .
In this case Govt does not owns its copyright and It is already public
domain . What they are doing is making them available via Digitalization ,
ie it is an Open access initiative of rare public domain books
There is no role for copyright or licenses in this
