Exactly! I don't think one needs a copyright to quote from a literary
work as part of a discussion.
I think it would be a great thing to be able to , say, request PSRK
gAru to post an excerpt from manu caritraM, or nyAyapati vAsu gAru to
post an excerpt from afsar's poetry.
All we are asking for is a list of resource persons who agree to post
excerpts on request. The only intellectual (or material) property
involved is that of the concerned resource person, and not of the
original author.
I vote an 'aye' to the proposal.
Regards,
Uday
