SrI:

Dear Sri Narasimhan :

Thank you for your Mail .

I am surprised that this announcement 
from Sriman Adihsesh IyengAr went thru.

I thought I had deleted it 
because of the copy right 
sensitivities . I am surprised it went thru.
I must have hit the wrong button.

I agree with You and Sriman UttamUr 
Rajagopalan's family that these material 
can not be placed in the public domain 
without the permission of the copy right 
holders. I had sent mail to Sri AdhisEsh 
on this matter . In  a similar situation ,
he is asking for permission of another great 
VidhvAn's output from his relatives first . 

I do not release " the releases " from
"Maran's Dog" for the same reason .
The most recent of his violation is the release 
of VishNU PurANam . 

If the owners of copy right give permission 
for wider dissemination , it is a different story .

In summary , there will be no encouragement 
on my part to release such documents . If they
translate these content into English and add
some value , it is a different story .Even for that ,
the initiator has to get permission  First from
the Copy right holder . 

There are no two positions on this matter.
