[sword-devel] DRM entries in .conf files

2001-12-14 Thread Chris Little
I'd like to propose the addition of some new entries for .conf files, relating to copyright and digital rights management (DRM). They would just be informational, and the front-end would have the option to enfore them or not (just like Adobe does with PDF's DRM). And this is just an initial prop
