 1. Yes, permission is granted as we want to distribute the text in as many 
ways possible.

Thank you very much! Would it be OK to standardize the license text using the 
closest matching Creative Commons license? See 
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es and 
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.en for the wording. I 
think this matches your intent, but with very well-thought-out legal wording. 
(If not, we could just copy what you wrote in your PDF file.)

 2. We are happy to provide a working file but:

     1. Forgive my ignorance but I do the layout in InDesign. Previously, I 
have exported as a text file for others to develop the digital modules for 
E-sword, online bible, and Bible Analyzer. I currently do not see any of the 
formats mentioned in my export or save as options. I will do some research but 
thought you might already know what steps I would need to take.

If you mean that the master copy, or most authoritative text is in InDesign, then you can simply send me the InDesign file and/or an HTML export of that file. I have a copy of InDesign, and can experiment with the export options to get something close enough that I can write a custom script to convert to the format I really need. The large file can go directly to just me at kahunap...@ebible.org, or if it is too large to attach, share it with Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar service. We don't need to clutter the Sword Developer's mailing list with a large file.

     2. We are actually in the middle of further revision work, to be completed 
in March or April. Perhaps it would be best to wait for the updated file, 
rather than using the current 2019 edition and then having to update it later 
or being “stuck” with an “older” edition while other programs hopefully update 
theirs.

Since my strategy is to use a script to convert, with little manual labor, and 
lower chances of making mistakes, running an updated copy through the same 
script would be little additional work. So it may be best to start with what 
you have, then run your update through the same script when it is ready. Just 
please remember to send me the update when it is ready, as I might not think to 
ask for it, then. (I maintain well over a thousand Bible modules.)

I look forward to providing our Spanish-speaking readers with another good 
Bible translation option.

Any questions?

I look forward to your feedback on these matters. Thanks, and God bless.

Allen Johnson

Director

*Subject: *Re: [sword-devel] Adding another Bible version

Hello David and all,

To add the Valera 1602 Purificada to the Sword project would require (1) 
permission, and (2) digital files in an acceptable format (OSIS, USFM, USX, or 
USFX).

It looks like the permission granted in 
https://www.valera1602.org/_files/ugd/804ef4_18fd4564ee2340f0ba4d3d661cef36d2.pdf
 is functionally equivalent to a CC-BY-ND-NC license, so the permission part is 
handled.

Whoever reads i...@valera1602.org email: do you have some digital files of this 
Bible translation in USFM, USX, OSIS, or something easy to convert to one of 
those formats? If so, could we please have a copy so that we can make it 
available to users of the Sword Project family of apps, including AndBible?

Thanks!

    Hello,

     I was wondering if you all can add a Spanish Bible version called Reina Valera 
Purificada 1602? It's a Spanish Bible created to read more like to the king James 
version. I use the "and Bible" app and they said to ask you all. Thank you
