Hi Martin,
Thanks for the feedback.
WEB 23Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.
How good is a word at the right time!
LcdBible actually *does* use the sword-api: an "experimental" subset of
VerseKey and RawVerse to get verses. This has been discussed with Troy G.in

Hi Chris,
The GPL doesn't cover just distribution rights, it also covers usage.
USING Sword in an unauthorized manner, according to the license (by
linking to it, either at compile time or run time) would violate the
license.
Some questions about this:

A front-end is a matter of function, not certification. A GUI that allows
users to use The SWORD Project code to access SWORD modules would be a type

Jason or Daniel or someone else who is actually working on these should
probably speak up and give an authoritative answer on teh subject, but I
believe these two projects are merged (into the program Bible Study at
the first URL).

Simon,
there are at least 2 more wxwindows Sword frontend in the works:

I wonder if people would be interested in joining forces there.

Hi Lynn,
I can only comment on the "frontend" issue, since I am no license expert.
There is no such thing as official "frontend" status. You don't have to apply
anywhere.
Any program that uses the Sword programming library to access the texts
provided by the Crosswire Bible Society (and/or othe
Hi Lynn Alan, and the rest of the Sword-devel list reading this,

Using SourceForge also obliges you to distribute your source code (even if
you remove our GPL code). You should have seen a notice about this when
you signed up with them for your project.
Also, as Martin mentions, by using Sword code, you must release under GPL.
You are not permitted to

even though your program is not a Sword-frontend (correct me if I'm wrong),
you are required to release it under the GPL since you copied source code

of that code.
Other than that, congratulations, and I wish yo
