[edit] Copyright questions
Note: It is fairly apparent that the text is copied from the Commission Report, but it is not clear whether that report is copyrighted or not. I can't find a copy online, so can't be sure. Jakew 22:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
It is part of the government of India report which was submitted way back in 1955. I am trying to find this content on govt of India web site but could not find it. We have hard copy of the report. If needed we can update the scanned copy of the report. Let me know what should I do to avoid the deletion. Thanks. Ramcrk 18:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Publishing this report does not violate Indian copy right laws. According to section 52.1.q.iii of Indian copy right act ...
- "52.Certain acts not to infringement of:- (1) The following acts shall not constitute an infringement of copyright, namely : --- q) the reproduction or publication of ---( iii ) the report of any committee, commission, council, board or other like body appointed by the Government if such report has been laid on the Table of the Legislature, unless the reproduction or publication of such report is prohibited by the Government"
You can also find the same info at page 36 of http://education.nic.in/CprAct.pdf
Also, States Reorganisation Act is different from States Reorganisation Commission. States Reorganisation Act implemented most of the recommendations of States Reorganisation Commission. Here is document on govt of India web site about States Reorganisation Act at http://india.gov.in/govt/documents/amendment/amend7.htm - Ramcrk 04:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- While I am aware that the States Reorganisation Commision and the States Reorganisation Act are different, they are of course related. It is my hope we can move some of the background content from the Act page to the Commission page, and continue to expand this one. - BillCJ 04:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
