Personally I would say - no thanks - this request for rights is way OTT.
 
Practically speaking we would not be allowed to do so without agreement
of all contributors, unless copyrights are assigned. 

I would also think that Bibletime is in a similar position - unless you
have asked all current and past contributors and copyright holders you
can not run the scan.
