| The SWORD Project |
 |
The SWORD Project is the CrossWire Bible Society's
free Bible software project. Its purpose is to create cross-platform
open-source tools, covered by the GNU General Public License, that allow programmers and Bible
societies to write new Bible software more quickly and easily.
Its secondary purpose is to amass a library of Bibles and other
Scripture-related texts that can be used by all SWORD Project-based
software.

| PalmBible+ Reader for PalmOS |
 |
PalmBible+ is a free (GPL-licensed) Bible reader for Palm OS now maintained by Yih-Chun Hu, but originally derived from BibleReader by Poetry Poon. BibleReader was previously hosted at SourceForge, and was open-source under the GPL. Since then, Mr. Poon has taken his project commercial, allowing him to sell copyrighted versions (such as the NIV), but also preventing others from fixing or adding features to his latest project. PalmBible+ can be found here and a nice starter pack has been collected and posted by Tyndale House here.
