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

[David Haslam]

Peter,

If I understand Tobias aright ....

It wouldn’t be CrossWire selling the copyright modules.

A new ministry would be set up.

All we’d need to do at some stage is to add their repository to our Master Repos List.

Tobias can readily clarify if I’ve missed the main gist of his proposal.
