<div>Troy,</div><div><br></div><div>CrossWire is itself distributing Copyright Material, unwilling to provide evidence it posses License to do this. Therefore since you're accusing me of this same thing, the same standard applies. Although I don't impose ultimatums on CrossWire though you are with me, feel free to validate your suspicion about the Dead Sea Scroll module with each Copyright holders directly. If a single Copyright holder is found who denies I have right to construct a module from a textual derivative of their work, I will do exactly as you ask, and beg forgiveness.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">However, because CrossWire isn't the Copyright owner (whatever it considers), and has nothing to do with the non-Crosswire server hosting the module (by its own choice) and doesn't even represent the Copyright interests of the source material, you might want to check with the actual Copyright holders on what they've allowed, before acting on your hunch.

<div>Let's not reopen the DSS issue, thought it is the same
issue. Crosswire is not the Copyright Owner of a single DSS
translations. So as long as Crosswire is playing no official
role in their digitization or distribution, CrossWire has
absolutely nothing to say on the matter.</div>

<div>That said, I was seeking assistance. That formally would
have required anyone helping me would have had to been brougt
under the some terms, which means I would likely have had to
'legally' clarify the terms of the work (by doing exactly what
I'm asking CrossWire to do now, by providing a license).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since CrossWire did not get involved, Crosswire has
absolutely no idea what license restrictions there
are NOT or ARE in dealing with the source text (only
speculation), or even if I do in fact have license (though I
argued restrictions were exempted by law) .</div>

<div>Until a Crosswire developere had actually engaged for the
sake of making this a Crosswire module to be reposed at
Crosswire's repot - Crosswire was foolish to argue the point
