[sword-devel] Locking of Sword modules: How well is this working?

[Wolfgang Stradner]

Hi,

Modules can be locked in Sword. An example is the Sword-Modul of the 
German Bible: 'Hoffnung für Alle 
<http://www.crosswire.org/sword/servlet/SwordMod.Verify?modName=GerHfa2002&pkgType=raw>'.
(By the way, the copy right of this module belongs to Biblica 
<http://www.biblica.com/> now, the former International Bible Society).

My question: How save is this locking, how well does it work? Does 
someone know, if this achieves, what it was made for?
Or do you know of instances, where this module is used without paying 
the unlocking fee?

Do you have any suggestions how to convince publishers to give the 
permission to let material under copyright to be used in Sword in locked 
form?

Greetings
Wolfgang Stradner
