Dear all,

In light of the recent findings of plagiarism committed by Mashelkar in
2004, ALF has archived substantial supporting documents that relate to the
original article published in the Times of India on Feb 28 (by Manoj Mitta)
- available at
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Mashelkar_book_not_his_own/articleshow/16
96776.cms

as well as documents relating to Graham Duttfield's clarifications on the
matter - available at

http://mail.sarai.net/pipermail/commons-law/2007-February/002368.html.


These documents are to meant to facilitate greater public debate about the
nature of IP policy making in india and are available at

Of particular interest to readers and journalists would be the discovery of
several yet unreported plagiarisms in the Mashelkar Book: see

 Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested in learning about, or
reporting on the issue.

Lawrence.
