Hi,
I have been using Alkitab bible study lately. Fantastic piece of
software, truly amazing.
I also noticed that it is in public domain, while using sword engine
that is in GPL v2, and other components that may have their own
license (http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/LICENSE-alkitab.txt)
My question is: Am I permitted to release future versions of
SwordBible under public domain? The reason is that I want to continue
to use the sword library that is under GPL, while also making use
of third party components that may not be under GPL (with the
permissions from their respective copyright holders).
Can this be done? Thanks for the clarifications.
I can't answer for the SWORD library.
Alkitab Bible Study is public domain and clearly states it does not
pertain to any parts of JSword or any other third party library that
JSword depends upon. We discussed this on jsword-devel. It was a
decision of the JSword development team not to make a big deal out of
it. We'd like to keep it that way; that is, not a big deal for Alkitab.
(At this point, I think Tonny would go GPL, if we asked him to.)
In Him,
DM
