[sword-devel] Checking on "Fair Use" by individuals ofproprietary Bible texts

[Ingo]

I don't know if it's fair to "digitize" printed Bibles into sword
modules for personal use. But I know what are copyright holders afraid
of:

In one post (one of polish christian forums) I can read "I have sword
module with PBT prepared by myself within 2 days - I can change it for
Bible Society version". 

In Christ,

Ingo
