<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hi Llewellyn, <br><br>Further to my initial reply, I have just created a wiki page for <b>getBible</b> and linked it from here.<br><br><span><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://wiki.crosswire.org/Main_Page#Front-end_Bible_study_applications">https://wiki.crosswire.org/Main_Page#Front-end_Bible_study_applications</a><br></span><br>One thing that needs clarifying is whether you sync <span style="display: inline !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">modules<span> </span></span>only to the main CrossWire repository, or whether you also make use of the other module sources listed in the CrossWire <b>Master Repositories List</b>?

<div class="protonmail_signature_block" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div class="protonmail_signature_block-user">A further matter arising is how you handle <b>DistributionLicense</b> for each module?</div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user">cf. Some Bibles are copyright but the owner has granted permission for CrossWire to distribute them <u>in SWORD format</u>. It's not completely clear to an outsider looking at <b>getBible</b> for the first time whether the sync'd Bibles are still in SWORD format, or are in a <i>derived</i> format.<br><br>If the latter, then it's essential that you speak with Troy A Griffitts and discuss the details. <br><br>Best regards,<br><br>David Haslam</div>
