To be more accurate e-Sword doesn't use MS Access file format any
more.  After finding out that his files were not actually protected in
any way, the developer of e-Sword switched to a new format.

In the previous version with MS Access files, there were no bad
reasons.  With the new format, it is possible that one could construe
accessing the data as a breach of security measures, although this is
highly doubtful.
