Michael bar-David pointed out that he already had obtained rights for the file. I suggest that we get a letter or something in writing from them so that if there are any questions down the road, we can point to the letter and show that we acted above-board and in good faith.
That said, I already have a module for a copy of Franz Delitzsch's Hebrew New Testament that was based on the HTML content at http://www.kirjasilta.net/ha-berit/ Which is mentioned on Franz Delitzsch's Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Delitzsch I'm not a native Hebrew speaker and was trying to learn Hebrew for Bible study. I sent what I had to Michael bar-David and asked if he could take a look at it as far as comparing my copy to his PDF. The PDF that he linked to has some footnotes and crossreferences that copy does not have so I'll put those in there at some point.

We often find that patient and supportive lobbying to publishers - establishing a trust relationship - seeking to serve them freely - can be very fruitful. This would obviate the need to crack the PDF file for usable content, and avoids the related risk of introducing errors into the text before making a SWORD module. Sometimes there is an additional benefit, in that our preprocessing tools can occasionally unearth some minor flaws that even the translators and/or publishers are unaware of. For example, finding unmatched pairs of left and right quotation marks (for languages that use such). Our feedback (when communicated respectfully) thus increases the trust between CrossWire and the publisher, with the overall result of future quality improvement for their next printed edition, as well as the first step towards making their Bible available for all the user programs we support.
