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.
