[sword-devel] getBible.net JSON API is now HARD Linked to the Sword Modules

[Llewellyn van der Merwe]

Hi David

Thank you for your email, I would like to think that since the text is
exactly the same as the modules and kept in that state it would be looking
on any screen the same as Xiphos or PocketSword. So I would say getBible is
also a Crosswire project (format) like the above two mentioned projects.

I am not at my desk right now, but will checkout the links you send me and
answer the further questions in the next few days.

Just a side note for now, each translation’s complete details (copyright
notices) can be viewed on each page under the (i) menu icon.

If any more official notices is needed to show the Crosswire relationship
more than is already set in place, we will gladly add it.

Kind regards
Llewellyn
