Biblegateway does not have the copyright. IBS does.
Read the copyright information right there:
*Copyright Information*
These Scriptures have been made available on the Internet for your
personal use only. Any other use including, but not limited to,
copying or re-posting the Scripture on the Internet is prohibited.
These Scriptures may not be altered or modified in any form but must
remain in their original context.
Surely converting them to a Sword module constitutes altering or
modifying their form and is, as such, *explicitly* forbidden?
These Scriptures may not be sold or otherwise offered for sale--to
include online banner ads that encapsulate linkages to these
Scriptures for the purpose of selling online ad space. These
Scriptures are free for all online use.
These Scriptures are not public domain. These Scriptures are not
shareware and may not be duplicated.
Converting to a Sword module is a form of duplication...
Unless your license *explicitly* gives you that right, overruling the
copyright notice (is that even possible?), then the conversion is a
copyright infringement. I don't believe one needs to be a lawyer to
understand such explicit instructions...
