Hi all, A query. I went and downloaded few of the books from bookshelf http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf/ which we are hoping to use in the 10th Anniversary Wikipedia celebrations being held in Pune. Please see ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune/
While going over/leafing over the books I couldn't find any licensing information of the books in question. For e.g. Evaluating_Wikipedia_article_quality_2010-11-26.pdf or Welcome2WP_English_082310.pdf neither of them have any explicit license attached to them.
The only info./reference I could find is the Wikimedia foundation address on the last page. No CC licenses.
Please clarify the above.
Also please CC me as while I'm subscribed to the list but Mail delivery is shut off.
All the bookshelf materials are CC-by-sa 3.0 unported.
See: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evaluating_Wikipedia_article_quality... http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Welcome2WP_English_082310.pdf
The lack of license info *in the books themselves* is an oversight that should be fixed in the next revision of each of them.

This is so great. We are hoping that more people will be using them, so feel free to remix and rework the materials so that they fit your culture and your needs. If you are translating them, please let us know about your experiences using Scribus - we know that some alphabets have had trouble using Scribus.
Also, if you have any other questions about the Bookshelf Project, you can contact me, as I will work with that for the next six months.
I will update the page as soon as I can.
Thanks,
Lennart
