The books have this statement "ಈ ಆವೃತ್ತಿಯ ಹಕ್ಕು : ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರ", which
means Govt of Karnataka holds the copyright for this particular edition.
GoK issued a statement releasing these books now under CC. I do agree that
there can't be any copyright on texts of dasa sahitya, vachana sahitya and

Hi Pavanaja,
