[sword-devel] Translation of the bible texts

[Jónatas Ferreira]

Hi,

The short answer is that the text is not Public Domain. No one knows  
how it came to be known as a Public Domain. It is a Versão Revisada  
from Imprensa Bíblica Brasileira (JUERP). You can search the list for  
the discussion.

Also, I'm working on getting a portuguese tranlation (Almeida Revista  
e Corrigida from Sociedade Bíblica de Portugal — SBP). They are going  
to grant permission, and I think Troy is in contact with them to work  
out the details. SBP is also going to distribute at least another  
version as a payed text.
