Dear Ms.Anuradha As far as I know, even though lot of resources are available freely onInternet, Some publishers or bodies strictly specify that if u areusing any of their information for Commercial will not be allowed. Ifat all needed u want to use that info u need to get prior permissionfrom them. (This reply i received when i contacted one of the organisation asthey didnt allowed as i work in Commercial Organisation) But yes if u r working for & want to use their information for anynon-profit organisation they will allow. Also pl consult some senior professionals on this.
