[sword-devel] LcdBible alpha 0.60a prototype available

[Chris Little]

Lynn,

Using SourceForge also obliges you to distribute your source code (even if
you remove our GPL code).  You should have seen a notice about this when
you signed up with them for your project.

Also, as Martin mentions, by using Sword code, you must release under GPL.  
You are not permitted to re-license Sword code under a different license, 
such as the MPL, as your project page implies is your intention.
