[sword-devel] Apparently none are copyrighted - was Russian Bible software in zipped HTML repositories

[Peter von Kaehne]

Nikolay is mentioned as the author and his email is given inside the
modules in the ini file. So I contacted him. I enquired into the
copyright status of these Bibles and got the following response. I
deleted his name and geo-address, but will forward the complete email to
Troy and Chris. I guess at least the Russian bit of the collection is
fair game and would be a great enhancement to our software. I presume
the forum link explains the copyright status even more, so maybe someone
with Russian knowledge should have a further look.
