Dear Sumanyu Satpathy,
IPR is always a bit difficult, please note that I'm not a lawyer and I
cannot give any guarantee that what I'm saying below is correct.
I cannot grant the permissions that you are asking for but that doesn't
even seem necessary. All the items that you are referring to (except
item 7, see below) already come with a license. As far as I can see
there are five different ones:
1) Public Documentation License (www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.rtf)
2) Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)
3) Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/)
4) GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
5) Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
As far as I can see it, all these licenses will allow you to use the
images that you are referring to in the way you are asking them to use.
You just have to make sure that you are following the license terms. The
most important points that needs to be considered with some of these
licenses are 1) that you need to attribute the materials that you are
reusing by author, licensor or source without suggesting that the IPR
owner is endorsing your work and 2) you need to share the materials
yourself under the same license. (As said above, these are only two
important aspects and they may not apply to all the materials that you
are referring.)
Please note, the source (http://www.openofficetips.com/) of item 7 is
not affiliated with Apache OpenOffice. You will certainly find a similar
image on the OpenOffice website if you look for it.
In general I can say that I'm really appreciating efforts like yours and
I guess a large majority of the AOO community shares my opinion.
Kindest regards,
Peter

Please find the attachment.
The Institute of Lifelong Learning of the University of Delhi is asking
us for permission to use materials mostly available at the old
OpenOffice wiki.
The attachment is now available at:

NOTE: Item 7 refers to an image available
http://www.openofficetips.com/. I would think that page not affiliated
with AOO.
