[sword-devel] Cool idea: Commercial Linux /Windows Bible program based on Sword

[Jerry Hastings]

I agree. There is no need to prove that you have perfect security when no 
one does. And because no other software is perfect there are probably 
already ways that those that want a copy of a text can get a copy for free. 
The Sword will not change either of those things. Security is not 
preventing copyrighted Sword modules, money is.
