I think generally we're of the opinion that it would be best if Sword remained free software--and that includes both the library and the frontends, as well as some of the Sword-related tools.
We want our software to be used, both by developers and end-users. But
we don't want our years of work to be adopted by developers who just want to make a buck off of our work without any compensation. By using the GPL, developers have to repay us in kind by giving us the same rights to their work as they give to us. As a result, when we want to extend their work, we can. When they retire from development, their projects can continue to be developed, etc.
Cool, I see your point. I'm not trying to advocate a change, just wondering the reasoning behind the license. Thanks for the Info and keep up the good work. Keith Preston
