I saw no reference to availability of source code. Isn't this in
breach
of
the GPLv2 license?
It probably would be.
Peter
Isn't jsword LGPL?
Yes. But, BD is GPL. However, the stylesheets are all GPL as part
of BD.
JSword is not useful without the stylesheets. If they used/
derived from
one
of the stylesheet, then their program is infected.
I'm not wishing to start another argument about the GPL, but I think
that statement is questionable.
The stylesheet is not part of the any jar file under LGPL but only
one that
is GPL. It is part of BibleDesktop and not part of JSword.
IMHO, academic discussions are fruitless.
Obviously I'm not understanding something here. When you mentioned
that "JSword is not useful without the stylesheets", I assumed that
you were positioning the stylesheets as part of JSword, hence my
comments. I assumed JSword provided HTML output as Sword does, and so
a stylesheet would be a necessary part. Does it only produce OSIS (or
some equivalent) and then leave the application (BD, Alkitab, etc.) to
format it by applying the stylesheet? If not, what is the division of
responsibility between "application" and "library"?
The application is responsible for providing an XSL stylesheet. JSword
itself does not have one and without it, JSword will only transform
module content into OSIS or spit back raw text. JSword itself knows
how to take an xml document and transform it with an xsl stylesheet,
but is ignorant of what that transformation is. It is the
responsibility of the front-end to do the transformation. BD is the
example of how that is done. It and all its components are GPL.
