Copyright on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother Works
Our
visitors might be wondering about copyright on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother
Works. There are different opinions represented by different organisations and
individuals. Here is official status on copyright from Copyright Department of
Sri Aurobindo Ashram:
- The copyright of
those works of Sri Aurobindo that were published during His lifetime have
expired in
- The copyright of
the Mother’s works published in Her lifetime expires only in 2033.
- In the case of
compilations (e.g. ‘The Bhagavad Gita: Text, Translation and Commentary’),
the totality of the specific individual editorial acts of selection and
arrangement gives rise to a distinct copyright in the compilation per se,
which is independent of the copyright in the underlying works which may
have expired
Works
that are still in copyright many not be put up for download by any party, even ‘registered
visitors’, irrespective of whether profit is involved.
