<quote>it has been extremely heartening for Pratham Books to see it
come to life – communities have created multiple derivative works
ranging from iPad and iPhone applications, to porting such works to
OLPC laptops, to creating entirely new books from existing
illustrations and creating versions of their books for the print
impaired – from DAISY and Braille books to rich audio books such that
it is closer to fulfilling its mission of reaching every single child.

Thats interesting , very happy to know about applications and
especially books for visually disabled people . It defnitely shows the
power of having a CC licensed book and could be shown as example for
more publishers .

On a related note in telugu there is a children magazine which is
released by Kottapalli publications . They are releasing them under CC
BY-NC-SA 2.5 IN License .
