You're so wrong. If some day GnomeSword, BibleTime, BibleCS, and all of Sword are obsolete and forgotten, but computer users generally are free to share and change the software they use, these programs will have done their job well. If, on the other hand, Sword and its frontends are widely used, but mainly in combination with proprietary software, they will have succeeded only part-way, and a big task will remain ahead of us.
Also, please quit referring to jgl as "free". It is not free software in the sense that Stallman uses that term. I offer you your choice of the terms "cost-free" or "worthless" in place of "free" when referring to such software. Furthermore, you didn't mention it in that letter, but I get the distinct impression that you are the sort of person who cavalierly brandishes the word "Linux" when referring to the GNU Operating System. Please remember that GNU is the OS; Linux is merely one of its kernels. The term "GNU/Linux" is acceptable when referring to the combination. Everything you said was wrong. Even the things you quoted, you quoted wrong. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. --Chris
