</span>Let's put it this way: Other than official resources distributed by<br>
authorized agents of _The Sword Project_, _Accordance_, _BibleWorks_,<br>
and _Logos Library Systems_ (I've forgotten what they changed their name<br>
to), my working assumption is that the copyright data on any resource<br>
is, at best, inaccurate.<br>
<br>
In all instances it is mandatory to do due diligence.<br>
Obtain permission in writing. Corporate letterhead signed by the party<br>
that is authorized to give permission to third parties to utilize the<br>
material elsewhere, with the letter stating precisely what permissions<br>
are being given, and what the limitations on those permissions are.<br>
<br>
All of which is a round about way of saying your PD NASB either is not<br>
what it purports to be --- the NASB --- or else has been relicensed by<br>
somebody who lacked the legal authorization to do so, or neither the<br>
NASB, and was relicensed by somebody who lacked the legal authorization<br>
to do so.<br>
