  I agree. I wish the Bible had included a license agreement, because surely 
it would required copyleft modification. That's the way that permits the most 
spread...
  *sigh* I hope some of the Bible publishers will feel motivated to allow the 
Sword project to provide their texts as modules for no more than a small 
fee.
