    e-Sword is a free software package, but it is not freeware. Rick
    Meyers holds a copyright on e-Sword, and as such has granted you
    the right to make copies for yourself and friends. e-Sword may
not
    be sold or resold, distributed as a part of any commercial
package,
    or used or distributed to support any kind of profit-generating
    activity, even if it is being distributed freely.

If (*if*) he used the sword code that's in direct violation of the
license, right?

I'm downloading the thing now to take a look
