<br> OK. Very good!<br><br> I had read one of the comments and either mis-understood it or did understand it and thought that was the purpose of Sword (to not allow anyone to go commercial with it).<br><br> It seems that what I want to do is in line with what you folks will allow in spirit, and in letter with the GPL.<br>
<br> BTW, you can indeed take previous GPL code and convert it to closed, but you must "fork" it to let that happen. You can say "Version 1.0" is GPL and this new "Version 1.0a" is closed source. You cannot take back the code that is in GPL, but you can hide your own changes to it by licensing it to be closed, but only if you originally own the code, from what I understand, and by example of what MySQL and others (such as Sun) have done.<br>
<br> I don't prefer jsword, but if jsword is it, then lets go for it. I want a server out there, and I understand it will be GPL.<br><br> How can this move forward? <br><br>thanks,<br>Wade<br><br><br>From: DM Smith <<a href="mailto:dmsmith555@yahoo.com">dmsmith555@yahoo.com</a>><br>
<br><snip><br><br>Personally, I think a client/server approach you mention is an<br>excellent idea. Without too much effort it can be done with<br>BibleDesktop and JSword, as it had been prototyped at one time and is<br>
currently stubbed out in JSword. Your contributions would be welcomed.<br><br>Working together for His Kingdom, we reach more.<br><br>In Him,<br> DM<br><br clear="all"><br>
