[sword-devel] LXX module distributed as public domain ?

[David Haslam]

LXX Version 2.5 was released in August 2008.

cf. I first met Troy and Peter the following month.

A minor tweak to lxx.conf and a bump to version 2.5.1 would be all that’s required.

One of our standard exact wordings can be selected for the DL key.
