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.
