[sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

[Matěj Cepl]

Dne 16. 01. 23 v 17:23 David Haslam napsal(a):
> And yes - it remains the case that the text of the KJV is protected

I have all respect for His Majesty (that’s weird … even as a Czech I
have still a strong tendency to write automatically Her Majesty), so I
don’t dispute this special copyright itself, but I always wondered what
does it actually mean. Which of the Four Freedoms
(https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html) are affected by it.

* Is there any limitation on my reading the text?
* Is there any limitation on my fixing problems with the given record of
the text (like what we do to it)?
* Is there any limitation on sharing such changed text with others?

Best,

Matěj
