GBS owns the copyright of the base text (which has changed since that CCAT 
text was done--I have a copy of the most recent edition), I was referring 
to the tagging.

CCAT used a computer program to generate those tags directly from the AGNT 
text. They did that without permission and they did not do a good job of it 
as well.

Right. We would have to have permission from GBS. It would probably have to 
be a locked module to pay royalties, but it could be sold inexpensively 
($10 or less).
