I agree that this project needs to stay under the GPL.  After all, this
project has always been about glorifying God and spreading His Word.  It
has never been about greed and fear.  There are too many individuals and
organizations who have merchandised the Lord's Word over the years.
And, if some big software company does modify the code, package the
product and sell it, then who should care?  His Word's are being
reproduced, not mans words.  Let Him deal with the issue.  At least the
Sword Project will remain beyond reproach and will have kept their
integrity.

JOHN 2:13-17
13  And the Jews passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 
14  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves,
and the changers of money sitting: 
15  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out
of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers
money, and overthrew the tables; 
16  And said unto them that sold doves, "Take these things hence; make
not my Fathers house an house of merchandise. " 
17  And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up.
