[bt-devel] NASB Unlock Key

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion.  We had to weigh the pros and cons of this. 
Lockman is testing the module in a few of our applications and also
wanted to review the installation and unlock process.  We decided to do
all we can to make it as easy as possible for their executives-- who are
not programmers-- to review and make a decision on permission.

One thing which has been mentioned a few times on sword-devel is that
frontends should begin to honor the new "UnlockInfo" .conf entry, which
has the purpose to explain to the user how to obtain an unlock key for a
particular module and in this modules clarifies to the user that this
module is still in the testing phase.  It would be good to check
Bibletime to see if it has support for displaying "UnlockInfo" to the
user when a module is selected for installation.

Thanks again for all you guys do,

Troy
