I'm just looking at them.
They have restriction for non-commercial use of their content in their ToU.
So uploading anything to Commons without their explicit permission may
be against their ToU (even if consistent with copyright law).
Do we care?

Hi,
That's a really great news! Thanks for sharing it.
I browse quickly the content they have and wow, this is really
multilingual. I even found some bilingual books with Breton
(mislabelled as French) and I saw a lot of other minority languages!
Do you already know what the next steps will be? Do you need help?
Cheers, ~nicolas

Hi all,
It gives us immense pleasure to announce to the Wikimedia
community that National Digital Library of India
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Digital_Library_of_India>
(NDLI), Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) and Wikimedia
Foundation (WMF) have signed a tripartite non-binding Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) for a 2-years partnership. National Digital
Library of India is a Ministry of Human Resource Development
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Human_Resource_Development>
project, developed at IIT Kharagpur
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institute_of_Technology_Kharagpur>
which aims to build a virtual repository of learning resources and
literature metadata.
Through this understanding, we will work together on:
* integrating Wikisource and Wikidata contents on NDLI website.
<https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/>
* building up technical infrastructure on NDLI website to
crowdsource
metadata curation on Wikidata and proofreading on Wikisource
websites.
* importing relevant contents and data from NDLI website to
Wikidata and Wikisource.
* identifying and pursuing collaboration opportunities around
other Wikimedia projects, such as Wikibooks.
After months of discussion among the three parties, the
understanding was finalized during International Symposium on
Knowledge Engineering for Digital Library Design 2019,
<http://kedl2019.ndl.gov.in/> an international conference
organized collaboratively by NDLI and UNESCO at IIT Delhi
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institute_of_Technology_Delhi>,
where WMF was a technical partner.
Many apologies for cross-posting the announcement in different
relevant mailing lists.
Regards,
Jayanta and Bodhisattwa
CIS-A2K
