Sources, modern works and legitimate use
06Copyright & Permissions
How Vidyame handles ownership claims, public-domain sources, protected editions, translations, media, permissions, and disputes.
The principle
Civilizational preservation requires respect for both shared inheritance and living rights.
What the policy covers
Commitments people can understand and use.
- 01
Public domain is not attribution-free
Ancient or public-domain material still deserves correct source, edition, custodian, and context.
- 02
Modern layers may be protected
Translations, annotations, recordings, photography, editions, design, and performance can carry distinct rights.
- 03
Notice and response
Provide a documented route for claims, counter-information, review, and proportionate interim action.
- 04
Repeat misuse
Address persistent infringement while avoiding automated removal without adequate context.
- 05
Community and cultural care
Legal permission does not replace consent, restriction, sacred context, or responsibility to knowledge-bearing communities.
