[sword-devel] Platform for the distribution of non-free Sword Modules

[Peter von Kaehne]

I would actively oppose this proposal. 

Leaving aside a few popular but otherwise irrelevant texts (NIV etc)
there is nothing gained in this proposal. I do not want us to sell
texts and by and large we get the texts we really want or need for
free. 

DBL is a matter of concern - agreed. But not the rest.
