It was mainly because Creative Commons Licence was not rewritten as per indian jurisdiction at that time (I remember this incident with TOI) Now Lawrence Liang and Creative Commons India successfully converted CC 2.5 Licences valid as per Indian copyright law (3.0 is still pending) For Creative commons based legal moves you can take the help from Creative Commons India http://cc-india.org/ . > > regards, > > ~ bobinson > > -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
