[sword-devel] Licensing audit of SWORD for Fedora - sharing results with upstream

[Aaron Rainbolt]

No worries there, I would be doing all the work of managing BibleTime
within the Fedora repositories, the devs wouldn't have to do extra
work for that to happen.

If the BibleTime developers are interested in hosting their own repos
for other distros, that's certainly their option (and a good idea in
my opinion), however having BibleTime directly in distribution repos
will obviously make it easier for end-users to install and use it, so
I'd like to make that happen by maintaining the package in Fedora. (I
also have experience with Debian packaging so if the current Debian
maintainer gives up on it, I might be able to help there too.)
