[sword-devel] CzeCEP (and CzeKMS) license

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Michal,
	Praise God for His blessings.  This is great news, again!  I have
uploaded both modules, unlocked to the website.  You should see them on
the download page.  If I could get your help with a few final things:

	o Will you review the About= entry in the .conf files for each module
and update them to include the conditions from each publisher as to the
terms of distribution (can read or write Czech! :))

	o If you would take the time to thank each organization and inform them
that our software is free and they are encouraged to use and distribute
our software with their module and even charge for it if they so desire
(as long as a conspicuous message lets the buyer know that they may
obtain the same software for free, and the location for free download
(per GNU terms)).

	THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.  This will allow MANY Czech users to
experience God's Word in their native language.

Petr and Michal,
	There is still the issue with font encoding.  Is there anywhere I might
find a translation table so I could build a subclass of the SWFilter
class to recode the module on-the-fly?  This will allow us to keep the
current datafile (which works in Windoze), and still have linux display
properly.  Or if either of you know C++ well enough to write a filter, I
think it would solve our problems.  There are many filters that already
exist in sword/src/modules/filters that you could copy and use as a
starting place.  Basically, you get a char * that you can read and
modify.  A simple for loop thru the char array replacing characters from
a lookup table might do the trick, or maybe I'm being naive about the
complexity of the conversion.  Thanks again!  This is really good news!
