[sword-devel] NIV electronic licencing

[Jeff Collett]

I have been using the MKJV and it is pretty decent. I also have the KJV and
the ASV on my Palm. I have not used the NIV.  If you check out Jack Chick's
Web Site

he thinks anything besides the KJV is inaccurate, he does have some
excellent Tracts though.

understand that money had to be involved with the translating/publishing
process, but the fact texts like NIV is "licensed" means profit. I'm
beginning to sway away from such versions and translations and moving
towards public domain texts. I'm doing the same with Windows to Linux. I've
even paid for a distribution just because of the freedoms in the GNU GPL
license.
