Based on the bit of (weak) specification given when you first asked
about this a month ago, the next morning I posted a script here which
does what you asked. Your question wa

If you are the sole copyright holder of _all_ of the code, you can
release an update that has a different license. If anybody else owns
the copyright of _any_ of that
OK. Very good!
I had read one of the comments and either mis-understood it or did
understand it and thought that was the purpose of Sword (to not allow anyone
to go commercial with it).
It seems that what I want to do is in line with what you folks will allow

I appreciate you helping me clue in on this. Even better, I appreciate
you helping me understand the concerns, something a license by its
nature just can't really convey.
I think it is very important to honor your requests (the spirit) and not
just get by on technical loopholes (the letter).
Wade,
I am currently the lead developer for JSword. I think I understand the
ramifications of the GPL that you mentioned. I have studied the GPL,
line by line, to determine whether I was willing to contribute.
The GPL is effective in reaching our goals. AFIK, we are the only open

I apologize!
I did not receive the answer to my questions a month ago. I had just
signed up, and I think that caused me to miss the answer. I thought it had
not made it to the list.
Here is a snip from a brief post and my answers:

You posted already about a month ago and Chris Little did ask you some
questions regarding your intentions, but you never cared to answer those.
The thought was that you intended to do an ed run around the GPL by
creating a GUI which was not GPL-ed.
You did not provide any reassurance on this. Wi

The SWORD engine would serve for this purpose wonderfully - but you
would need to have someone who was willing to tackle designing a
protocol, etc. I'm not sure that there is one at the moment, but it
seems that an adaptation of OSIS would be perfect, since it is already
well-known and the XML str
