Hi, So the order is issued by the Secretary, Tamilnadu Government. The primary purpose of this initiative is to ensure that the - if works in tamil are published under CC by SA, aided by technology, it has the potential to reach people globally.
In essence the order says that: *1) Books & other literary works that shall be published under CC by SA* - That have been nationalized - Produced by the Tamil Development Department & other Government departments, - Rare books collected by the Tamil Development Department & Tamil University - Digital Copies of - Old Scrolls, Pictures & Stone carvings 2) *Research papers and books (subject to copyright rules) of the students & teachers of the Tamil University should be published on their website* *3) If any of the above have been procured by other Government departments, from Individuals or private enterprises - they too can be published after obtaining due permission from the owner.* The letter doesn't explicitly mentioned CC by SA for (2) & (3) but I think that's what was intended.
