Thanks, but Crosswire is in Arizona, which is not in the UK, so Crosswire don't have to worry about UK-specific copyright laws.
The distributors of Ubuntu, Canonical Ltd, are based in the UK. So it's Ubuntu that needs to get the permission, not Crosswire. It might be possible for Crosswire to obtain permission "in advance" for UK downstream distributors of their text, but they'd probably count that as a "feature request" rather than a bug. It would also depend if CUP are willing to grant transferrable permissions. A transferrable permission would be best anyway, otherwise Ubuntu may have to move this package to "non-free". But at least having a permission of any kind is better than having none at all. I would imagine Canonical Ltd would have more resources than Crosswire to sort this out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089053 Title: UK copyright law makes this package illegal to distribute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sword-text-kjv/+bug/1089053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
