Finally, the Director of the film "Revolution OS", JTS Moore, granted permission to dub the film in Tamil and Hindi. I am translating the transcript to Tamil. We need volunteers to give voice to the audio track. Will update you all once completed the translation. If anyone wish to translate in Hindi, please contact me. Let us wait for the day, when Eric Raymond, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Bryce Perens, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Brian Behlendorf, Donnie Barnes, Frank Hecker and more people to speak Tamil and Hindi. I hope after finishing this project in Tamil and Hindi, we can get permissions for other languages too. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: J.T.S. Moore Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 7:10 AM Subject: Re: Request permission to dub the film "Revolution OS" in Tamil To: Shrinivasan T Shrinivasan, Yes, you can have permission to dub REVOLUTION OS into Tamil and Hindi with the following conditions: 1) If you don't already own an official DVD copy of REVOLUTION OS, you will need to buy one. That's because I need to make at least some money. Also, on the DVD of REVOLUTION OS there is an alternate audio track that contains only the Music and Sound Effects with no dialogue. This alternate audio track was created specifically for use in the dubbing of non-English language audio tracks. The best outlet for purchasing the DVD of REVOLUTION OS with low-cost international shipping is CDbaby.com: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/revolutionosdvd 2) You can only create Tamil and Hindi language audio tracks. No subtitles. 3) You cannot duplicate or distribute DVDs or other physical copies of REVOLUTION OS. You can burn a DVD of your dubbed versions of REVOLUTION OS for exhibitions that you personally oversee. 4) You can present free screenings of REVOLUTION OS in conjunction with Linux user groups, FOSS groups, and non-profit educational institutions. However, you cannot give Linux user groups, FOSS groups, and non-profit educational institutions ongoing permission to screen REVOLUTION OS or the Tamil-language or Hindi-language versions. 5) You cannot screen, loan, or license the Tamil-language or Hindi-language versions of REVOLUTION OS to for-profit corporations. Such entities (such as Wipro, Infosys, Tata) must negotiate separate licenses with me and only with me. I retain the exclusive right to unilaterally license Tamil-language and Hindi-language versions that you and your group creates to any entity whether non-profit or for-profit, and to retain all revenues from such deals. 6) If you do charge for screenings, you must send me 50% of the total ticket sales via PayPal.com. 7) You can upload Tamil-language and Hindi-language versions of REVOLUTION OS to YouTube (but not the English-language version). However, you must send me the web links. From time to time, I may purge YouTube of video copies of REVOLUTION OS that are posted without my permission. So I need to know which YouTube files I have granted permission to. 8) The dubbed versions of REVOLUTION OS that you produce cannot be broadcast or exhibited on any form of television without my expressed permission. I retain the exclusive right to unilaterally negotiate all deals to license the Tamil-language and Hindi-language versions to television worldwide and retain all revenues from such deals. 9) I reserve the right to terminate at anytime your permission to dub REVOLUTION OS, or to screen, exhibit, upload, or present all or part of the Tamil-language and Hindi-language dubbed versions of REVOLUTION OS. 10) In the unlikely event I ever produce a Blu-Ray disc or international version of REVOLUTION OS, I will have the right, at no cost to me or my assigns, to include the Tamil-language and Hindi-language audio tracks on future editions of REVOLUTION OS. 11) I retain all rights to REVOLUTION OS and the rights to all derivative works, including all Tamil-language and Hindi-language dubbed versions, of REVOLUTION OS. 12) You have no rights to license or enter into any agreements pertaining to REVOLUTION OS or the Tamil-language and Hindi-language versions. You cannot sub-license or convey any rights in REVOLUTION OS or the Tamil-language and Hindi-language versions to anyone or any entity. 13) I may add additional conditions as I deem necessary. 14) This is the entirety of our agreement. If those conditions work for you, then you are welcome to produce Tamil-language and Hindi-language dubbed versions of REVOLUTION OS. Attached below is the English-language transcript of REVOLUTION OS. Please let me know what you decide to do. Best Wishes, J.T.S. Moore Director, REVOLUTION OS .... snip ....
