Dear Vishnu,
2013/10/17 vishnu <vishnu(a)cis-india.org>
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.

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
