I had some email correspondence with them and got to know that they are
not careful at all about copyrights. Here is a direct quotation:

"The status of some Bibles in Unbound Bible may be unclear, and you
should use your own research and judgment in deciding what you want to
do with different Bibles on a case by case basis. Some are public
domain, some of them were approved by signed contracts, some by email
approvals, and some have unknown status or unclear status."

They have for example the Finnish translation which we have as "FinPR92"
and they have copied it from Crosswire - you can see it by reading the
copyright info which says "Permission to distribute granted to
CrossWire".
