Hello Martin, * I consider "LcdBible" as a "proposed" front-end to The SWORD Project. This was specifically mentioned in the inital eMail of 2003-Dec-01: Proposal: New sword front-end -- lcdbible but I neglected to use that specific word in this eMail. Mea culpa. * I have no awareness of what is involved in applying for "front-end status" for software such as LcdBible. I can imagine this would not be a trivial decision whether it was accepted. (Rejection might well be a trivial decision.) * My understanding (from Chris Little) is that LcdBible would not be a "module". I would appreciate getting information on what is involved in applying for "front-end status". * I think of LcdBible as a "plug-in" to the Sword-Api. It exists to take advantage of the Bible texts that are available using an "experimental" subset of the Sword-Api. It might possibly "piggy-back" with the Starter-Set (only adds about 20kb compressed) * I would appreciate input as to whether there are licenses that might not be as onerous as GPL? I have no problem with open source, but do have some (uninformed) concerns about the "GPL-virus" issue? Is LGPL viable? I will comply with whatever is required, but would like to look into further. The JSword project has bumped into this issue, and I will check with Joe Walker.
