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:
* Is it possible to release parts of the code that are independant from GPL code, but are in a program that makes use of GPL code, under LGPL? The reason I ask is because I want to release some parts of the bible tool I'm working on as LGPL (mainly the code to read/search OSIS and ThML files, which is code that is totally independant from the Sword Engine).
* Does the author of some code has the right to use the same (self-written) code in both a GPL and a commercial project?
