Hi,
I'm new to the list, and I had a couple of questions about some bible versions that aren't listed.
I saw on the e-sword site that the American Bible Society licensed both the Good News (TEV) and CEV versions to them for free release. I mailed the American Bible Society to ask them about getting more general release privileges, but have yet to hear anything back. They do have a toll-free number you can call, but I live in the UK, so its not actually toll-free for me :)
Interestingly, the e-sword program does not provide any licensing information for any of the bibles in its list. So either they are free enough that you could legitimately copy the scriptures from the e-sword format to whatever format is currently used by this project, or the guy at e-sword would not seem to be distributing licenses (which I thought you would have to do?).
On a slightly different note, my current understanding of these things is that if we in our church have copies of a particular version of the bible, then I am within my rights to hold a digital copy of the same, for use in services etc (obviously satisfying whatever current copying conditions apply). Am I way off the mark on this one?
Finally, I'm a programmer, I'd like to help, is there anything that I can do, or stuff that I should read to see if I can get involved?
Thanks,
Richard.
