[INDOLOGY] Mahabharata CE

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,
Shouldn't many of the volumes of the BORI critical edition now be in the
public domain?.
This wikipedia page on the Indian copyright law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_India
states that for works published before 1958 the Indian Copyright Act, 1914
is applicable.
And the Indian copyright act of 1914 (link below)
https://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/in/in121en.
pdf page 20 (pdf page 16) states:
3. The term for which copyright shall subsist shall, except as otherwise
exressly provided by this Act, be the life of the author and a period of 50
years after his death:. . . .
