<br>
It's important to CrossWire that each of our modules has a provenance for<br>
its source text which must be one that is hosted by a reputable agency with<br>
a clearly demonstrated direct interest in the work.<br>
<br>
An undocumented trail of copies of copies of copies of what might or might<br>
not be an accurate digitisation of a published Bible translation is<br>
unacceptable.<br>
<br>
Even before they changed the internal format of their modules, CrossWire<br>
eschewed making SWORD modules from the text that could formerly be extracted<br>
by cunning means from e-Sword modules.<br>
One good reason for this is that there's an "All rights reserved" notice on<br>
the e-Sword site that applies to everything they distribute, whether or not<br>
the module purports to represent a work that's copyright and even if it's<br>
known to be PD.<br>
<br>
CrossWire will never distribute a module made from Zefania XML as source, or<br>
one made from text cracked from an e-Sword module, or one scraped from a<br>
file-sharing service.<br>
<br>
NB. Distribution permissions must be obtained in writing and formally lodged<br>
with CrossWire.<br>
A phone conversation or even an email thread is not adequate proof.<br>
<br>
There are more details about these matters in our developers' wiki.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
