If the bible societies are pursuing their own software projects does that mean that their is simply a big void where translations are simply not available for linux via commercial channels??? I really think sword ought to make a move on the "pay for modules" scenario. If you read the link http://www.lindows.com/lindows_michaelsminutes_archives.php?id=28 you will see that linux is destined for greater desktop dominance in the future. If the bible societies decide to make a move at some point, in order to meet the market, and create their own software for linux then it will render sword obsolete, because it no longer has mindshare that differentiates it from other products, and sword will die a natural death.
