[sword-devel] porting sword to the Palm

[Drew Haninger]

Since your discussing porting to the Palm, we were thinking of trying the
Open Source development on a few of our products, not sure about GPL, but
would like to try it.  We are already putting out most of the public domain
Bibles for free with a free reader.
