hi, I spoke to the GM, Western Railway for whom User:AroundtheGlobe provided me the number and spoke to him. He said he'd need a proper proposal before he could comment on the possibility of giving us permission. He also said that the request was strange and that he'd have to consult the legal

hi, I understand. But the question is that of access to the driver/guard bogey. We can either be there or not be there at all. Another issue is that we can use the video during daytime only. It's an interesting logistical exercise along with having a free video tape of all of that length of

hi, I think since what we want to do is videotape a railway route, the driver's bogey is more suited to this. I would want to film during day time only under good visibility conditions, where possible. I think we could give the CC-BY-SA license to the Indian Railways. I do not think there'll be

Shiju, what problem can railways have? A station is public property and hence nobody should be able to stop you from photographing it. It isn't covered under the Official Secrets Act, is it? Besides, if there was a problem, then a HUGE bunch of photographs from the Commons shouldn't exist. If it

A station is public property and hence nobody should be able to stop you from photographing it. That is our assumption. Just like that we assume that all Indian/State Government websites are in public domain since ours is a democractic nation. But in reality that is not true. Government is

I dont think all these restrictions are just copyright matters, basically security issues. So once if we can convince the intention, then it should be fine. On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 9:12 PM, Shiju Alex shijualexonl...@gmail.comwrote: A station is public property and hence nobody should be able

Commons deal these issues in a different way I guess. Let active Commons users comment on this. Fortunately foreign nationals have permission to capture images. :) See page 13 of the below official document. Especially clause 1.3. :)

hi, I don't foresee doing this project without consent from the Railway. If we do it with their consent, we get into the grey areas of copyright which we're not sure how to tackle. I'd suggest doing the project with permission from the Railways and then giving the CC-BY-SA license in the Railway
