The question is whether that is going to happen with the given 
constraints. If copyright owners have to do that work, then they may not 
want that. But if that digital infrastructure would be managed by the 
organization that distributes the actual bible software modules 
(CrossWire), it may turn out as an enabler!

Have you guys thought about a different approach concerning copyrighted 
modules, but didn't pursue it, because it would require too much 
maintenance effort? I would like to understand the motivation a bit 
more, thanks for helping me understand.

I think CrossWire, Sword and all the frontends would gain a much bigger 
user base if modern translations would be available as Sword modules :).
