[sword-devel] NRSV info

[Ed Backell]

Hello, everyone.

I'm not sure if anyone else has done this, so if so, and I'm repeating old information, please forgive me.

I've contacted the licensing division of the NCC, who controls the NRSV translation. They've set me a form to fill out so that they can decide whether or not the NRSV could be released using the Sword libraries.

Here are the questions they're asking:

So, what do you all think? Should we pursue getting the NRSV available in Sword format? I'm guessing it will have to be done in a locked module format, similar to the NASB.

I'd love your feedback...
