Sorry for the top post, but I believe the below text (by Chris Burrell) sums 
things up pretty well – there is no problem with people having personal mirrors 
of all the CrossWire modules, for personal use only and not for public access.
However, at this point there isn't a major issue with resilience & hence there 
is no need at this point in time for mirrors.
If there were (in the future?), we could then discuss on this list the best way 
to move forward, but I believe it would then involve working on libsword to 
help properly handle this, code that currently doesn't exist.
That time isn't now, so we don't need to discuss how to go about this at this 
point in time.

Regarding public mirrors now, if ppl must have their own mirrors (cause they 
want one for whatever reasons?), they are free to do so as long as it's not the 
copyrighted material, as people have been pointing out.

However, if you _must_ have your own (legal & public) mirror, I suggest it's 
probably best not to publicly advertise it here! Privately inform people about 
them if you must.
That way we can hopefully avoid confusion for users for if they do a duckduckgo 
search (or google search) & find your repo & wonder why there are multiple 
modules of the same name, etc...

Just my random thoughts... :)
