i already read the docs, and no where do they explain why he has lifted the 1981 version. hence my post. (justin) >No. yes. >Not with public domain stuff. the version he is using is not public domain. >Yes, he's using public domain text. no, he's not. and it's not that hard to check. ;-) also, ya'll may want to check the drivel on wikisource.org/wiki/The Book of Mormon under the discussion section. it doesn't shed much light on the situation. also note that the project gutenberg version is an edited version of the 1830 version (or it's not the 1830 version and it's mislabeled as such.)
