Technologically it should not be an overly difficult way, but I would
be wary of the way that this could be viewed by the copyright holder
and by the respective authorities. Seeing as how I'm neither a
lawyer nor an expert on "intellectual propery" laws, I don't know, but
if someone does have an authoritative opinion on that, it would be an
interesting idea. I have thought of a similar technology in the
past, but never was willing to put myself at risk for using it until I
had a definite legal opinion on the matter.<br>

I have a similar "Problem" with german bible translations. But most<br>translations are free for browsing and private usage. So there is no<br>legal way to provide sword packages. But why not provide scripts, which
<br>allow every user to build up his own package?<br>Just downloading, some magic sed/awk to transform it to OSIS-XML and<br>import it into sword?<br>Is this a possible way? What do you think?<br><br>In his love,<br>.___ _ _
