[sword-devel] update of NA26-UBS3 module

[chrislit at crosswire.org]

The NA27/UBS4 and the NA26/UBS3 are, indeed, not identical.  However, they 
are owned by the same organizations and they are nearly identical.  For 
that reason, you won't get a different position unless their policy has 
changed pretty drastically.  GBS, like most groups, doesn't distinguish 
"private, noncommercial purposes" from other uses.
