Hi all ,
Thanks Jane for the explanation. I remember I am in this cc-india list
from 2006 onwards :-)
It is better to announce relaunch as it is in the announcements to avoid
confusion . Because we wikipedian's value references very much. also ccing
the wikimedia* India *list

Hi Anivar and all,
Great spotting, and yes you're correct - this is technically a "re-launch"
of CC in India. Prof Jha, Lawrence Liang and their colleagues have done
excellent work in CC outreach and launching a local Indian license suite.
As projects change, so do CC teams in many countries from time to time, and
they've both been instrumental in encouraging and assisting us with
revitalizing, or "re-launching" CC in India with exciting new partners in
2013.
In fact, the community discussion list I've included in this mail is a
revived version of the original list so it's a great forum to post any
concerns to. We were fortunate enough to run a CC
workshop<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Events/Creative_Commons_workshop_in_Mumbai>in
February 2013 with Wikimedia India in the lead up to this re-launch at
IIT under the helpful co-ordination of Professor Jha. At CC HQ, we're
heartily looking forward to many more activities and successes with CC
India with new partners CIS, Wikimedia India and Univerity of New Delhi.
With regards
Jane Hornibrook

Dear Friends,
Wikimedia India in association with Acharya Narendra Dev College New
Delhi and Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore will be hosting the
launch of Creative Commons India in New Delhi on 12 November, 2013 with
Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Dr. Shashi Tharoor as
Chief Guest. It would be really nice if you could join us.
Details of the event can be found here:
wiki.wikimedia.in/Events/Creative_Commons_India_launch
AFAIK Creative commons india is launched in January 26 2007 in India in a
function at IIT Bombay , with Shishir K. Jha as Project Lead and Lawrence
Liang as Legal Lead .CC-2.5-IN series licenses are basically developed by
this team . Even Last year I heard about CC India in this list

This is a snapshot of their old website from internet archive

This looks like a relaunch . It will be good if you can explain why it is
relaunching in the above mentioned wiki page
