Check the Creative Commons website for the exact terms of this license.

It does seem to me you can do what you want to do here as long as you stick to 
the full set of terms. But please check yourself and do not take my opinion for 
gospel.

You can not use this text from us but will need to go back to the publisher and 
copyright owner and ask for yourself. Ask for the text and for the permissions. 
Please do not ask for use of the CrossWire module but for their text and their 
permission

Seems fine to me

Seems fine to me

Anything which takes something and makes it something else is derivative. It 
seems that this is what you are doing.

[sword-devel] Copyright question about sharing anki deck created from Sword modules

2019-06-20 Thread pierre amadio
Hello.

I wrote a python script that generate anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/)
flashcard deck based on Sword modules that includes Strongs number.

https://github.com/pierre-amadio/SwordSandBox/blob/master/python/ankistuff/create-anki-deck.py

For a given book, it generate cards where the question field is a set
of all the variant forms of a Strongs's word, and a sample list of
sentences where the word occurs.
The answer field is the Strongs's entry (from the Xiphos strongsreal* modules).

If possible, I would like to share a set of decks in ankweb as well as
on some form of web hosting somewhere (if you have room on a server
and are willing to host those decks, le me know).

I am not sure what can and what cannot be done as far as licensing is concerned.

* Licences of the involved Sword modules I am interested in:

byz.conf:DistributionLicense=Creative Commons: by-nc-sa
morphgnt.conf:DistributionLicense=Copyrighted; Permission to
distribute granted to CrossWire
oshb.conf:DistributionLicense=Public Domain
strongsrealgreek.conf:DistributionLicense=Public Domain
strongsrealhebrew.conf:DistributionLicense=Public Domain

* Licence of decks posted in the ankiweb repository:
https://ankiweb.net/account/terms
Excerpt:
"""
When you share a deck, you will be required to assert that it is
entirely your own work, or that you have obtained a license from the
intellectual property holder to share the material here
...
...
When you download a deck that someone has shared, the deck author
grants you a permanent, non-revocable, worldwide, royalty free,
non-exclusive license to use the material in your personal studies.
This license is for personal use only, and the deck may not be
redistributed, re-uploaded, published, or used for any other purposes
without explicit permission from the copyright holder.
"""

If possible, i d like to give permission to redistribue/change/whatever.

* Licence I plan to distribute decks hosted on a simple web server:
Creative Common
CC BY-NC-SA if needed because of BYZ
or simply CC BY-SA if possible.

I am not a lawyer, and do not really understand if "derivative works"
(is that the correct term for an Anki deck based on a Sword module ?)
redistribution should follow the same rules as the full module, but in
doubt, i am assuming it is (if you know i am wrong, please let me
know).

It looks to me it would be ok to redistributes the deck on ankiweb and
under a CC licence except for the MorphGnt based deck for wich
crosswire has a right to redistribute but not me, nor ankiweb.

That s unfortunate as the only other greek new testament with strong
module i found (BYZ) does not come with accent and spritits.

Does any of you knows if the above assumptions are correct ?
Does any of you knows of a greek new testament module with strongs
words _and_ accents ?

Have a nice day !
