In the case of the TEV/CEV, I seem to remember that ABS were perfectly 
willing to grant a licence - but the Sword Project would have needed to 
have a means of accepting payment for the modules.  As we are not able to 
offer this service, we had to decline. 

I had hoped at some stage that one of the people involved with the Sword 
Project might offer to set up a (not-for-profit?) venture that operated 
separately from the project, selling locked modules and buying licences - I 
guess that's going to be the only way in which modules such as TEV, CEV and 
NIV will ever find their way out into the world.  None of the copyright 
holders seem to have a means of accepting payment (at least none of the 
ones I've been in touch with).

How's about it?

God bless,
Barry
