In addition to what Peter said:
The typical bundle is KJV, Robinsons, Strong's Greek, and Strong's 
Hebrew. This provides the user the richest study opportunity as the KJV 
is keyed to Strong's Numbers and Morphology. These are all free to 
distribute.

You are also welcomed to contact any of the publishers which have 
granted CrossWire permission to distribute and ask them if you may 
distribute the SWORD module as is bundled with your application.

Hope this helps,
