Well, they gave Rick Meyers (E-Sword) also a license, so I guess it
won't be any more expense. Besides, the contract they mailed me was also
used for distribution of modules, not for a website alone.

I do not think these numbers add up. You got the license fee for a
single 
host website. That will most likely not be the fee to distribute them as

sword module.
