[sword-devel] Here's Our Chance: Copyright Negotations

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Our position with copyrighted texts:

We will help publishers and copyright holders with their text for sword. 
  We will even distribute their text for them for free, or as locked 
modules.  We will not handle their money for them.  If they will not 
allow us to distributed freely under any terms, then we will encipher 
and provide them with the module and key, and even publish the 
enciphered module for download from our site, but this is as far as 
CrossWire will go, in regard to selling modules.

	-Troy.
