"Just a Hobby" to Transforming the World: Linux Turns 35
by Francis Jayakanth 25 Aug '26

25 Aug '26

Dear Members, Thirty-five years ago, a young computer science student, Linus Torvalds, shared a modest announcement about a new operating system he was developing, describing it as "*just a hobby, won't be big and professional*." That project eventually became *Linux*, one of the most widely deployed open-source technologies in computing history. Interestingly, Linux was almost named *"*Freax*"* before the name "Linux" was adopted. Today, Linux powers a significant portion of the world's servers, supercomputers, cloud infrastructure, smartphones, and digital services.

Why ‘lawful access’ may not be required for AI training in India
by madhan muthu 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Why ‘lawful access’ may not be required for AI training in India Arul George Scaria, law professor at National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, tells *The Indian Express* what the Delhi High Court’s AI copyright ruling means for LLM training, fair dealing and potential liability for AI outputs. https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-law/delhi-hc-llm-trai… *The Delhi High Court has a pending suit regarding “shadow libraries” (like Sci-Hub) despite a preliminary observation that such libraries infringe on copyright. Since LLMs are often trained on these libraries, does this present a legal grey area in India?* In *Elsevier vs Alexandra Elbakyan*, I feel the court did not have the opportunity to hear the perspectives of the academic and research community. *ANI vs OpenAI* rightly clarifies that “lawful access” is not a general requirement under the fair dealing provision, or under most of the other exceptions to infringement listed under Indian copyright law. *So if you can prove as a user that your use comes under the fair dealing exception or any of the other exceptions wherein lawful access is not mandated, the source shouldn’t really matter.* Wherever “lawful access” is intended under our copyright statute, it is specifically mentioned.....
