Dear Vishnu,

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/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%... 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
