Is your bible program project going to be GPL licensed? Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds a bit like an attempt at an end run of the GPL: using a (GPL) daemon to provide a socket interface to a non-GPL UI. We're really not very keen on the commercial exploitation of our years of work.
But please allay my fears if I am jumping to an incorrect conclusion. --Chris Wade Maxfield wrote: > I want do do a bible program project, multi-platform, accessible > from a gui development environment that is not currently compatible > with sword (neither java nor C++). > > I would like a daemon that can run under windows, linux, and > macintosh that sits at a socket and accepts request for scripture > verses and searches and other command and control requests (such as > language selection) and spits the answers back to the requestor, based > on the current sword engine.
