Here is an article on the copyright issues with regard to the KJV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version#Copyright_status
It says, among many other things that "The Authorized Version is in the public domain in most of the world. However, in the United Kingdom, the right to print, publish and distribute it is a royal prerogative..." It's a bit messy, it looks. Reading over it, I am not sure that the KJV is free to be distributed in Debian. Earlier faults in history are continuing to harass us and limit the word of God somehow.
