Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

Thanks Troy, Your link is to the Talk page for the KJV 2.6 project under DM's user profile. Today, I've identified the email message that I sent to DM Smith on 2016-01-21 which included an attachment Zip file containing the updated source text which he used to prepare KJV version 2.9 for its re

Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

Hey guys. A few points of clarity. We do make the source available from our wiki page regarding the work. https://wiki.crosswire.org/User:Dmsmith/KJV_2.6 You will find a link to the source somewhere on that page. DM Smith took over that work after we finished the KJV2003 work to manually add t

Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

Thanks Michael for that (although I haven't heard of the Beaver Scriptures and my search engines gave no help). Even here in New Zealand where we're still (sort of) under the King, no one here would consider not using the KJV, and we most certainly wouldn't be anticipating a court case if we u

Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

So, the answer to "why keep the source closed?" is "There's no reason to talk about it, because it's not actually source?" This is exactly what I don't understand. Consider other "midstream content hosting": At the Digital Bible Library: USX XML source is a long way down the pipe from USFM, but s

Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

Dear David, I must admit that I am a little surprised by this speech. What is really protected by a copyright? The text of the KJV bible or the work done on this text? In our other conversation it didn't seem to me that it was Crosswire's contributions to the text that you were trying to prote

Re: [sword-devel] Correction for KJV module in 2 Corinthians 1:8

Aside: The KJV at WikiSource would only be relevant if someone were wanting to create a text only KJV module. The CrossWire OSIS source text is a long way further down the road than plain text. There’s therefore no reason to keep mentioning it. It’s also a derived digital work - not the actual
