I don't think I understand the question here. The software is free to 
download. After that, you can poke around at the Java binaries if you 
like, searching for tell-tale strings.

I did, and didn't find anything. Nothing about this software looks like 
it came from Sword or JSword. I'd encourage someone more knowledgeable 
than me to do the same, but I really don't see any problems here.

I'm not sure what the $49 gets you, but maybe it won't actually run 
without a serial number. I'm not personally interested in installing yet 
another Bible app, so I didn't try running it.
