Hello.

I saw a post on facebook from someone looking for a public domain LXX document:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/NerdyLanguageMajors/permalink/3373521579417154/?comment_id=3384998281602817&reply_comment_id=3385827261519919&notif_id=1620662845736400&ref=notif&notif_t=group_comment_mention

I mentionned the source used by crosswire for the LXX module and the
author of the post think the source document may not be released under
a public domain copyright (although it grant permission to
redistribute the data for non commercial purpose):


http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/gopher/text/religion/biblical/lxxmorph/0-user-declaration.txt

"""

first obtaining the written consent of the owners/encoders;
"""
Crosswire mention the LXX module is public domain:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=LXX

Should it be something else than "public domain" so that it reflect
the non commercial restriction ?
