Hey, you know how we were talking about the NET translation? Well turns out they really want to get it out for free software things :)
The guy to talk to's e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] :)
I believe someone actually said in the e-mail convo you gave me that they HAD made a NET module, so I imagine they're not that difficult to put together. Since I think it might have been updated since then who knows. But they certainly want to see it go through. :)
Looking at the mailing list archives this is what I had found about the NET bible:
> I don't believe that the net bible is gnu, or public domain. > I believe there is a copywrite on it.
Yup. NET is not PD. It's not available for non-commercial
distribution. As far as licensing goes, it's at least as restrictive as
any other text I know of. There are I believe only two software
packages being allowed to license the text (Logos & OliveTree) and
you're not allowed to copy the text from their webpage to post on your
own webpage.

So, like I said, the NET is not very (libre) free and is not easily downloaded from netbible.org. That said, I have the text in a pair of modules (a Bible for the text & a commentary for the notes) but don't expect it to be posted publicly soon, if ever.

I don't know what the state of the NET modules are, but this is worth following up. Chris -- I don't know whether you want to do this, but let me know if you don't
