Has anyone approached them about our project. I believe I sent an email to them a couple of years ago, but never heard back. Is there anyone willing to approach them?

Yup. NET is not PD. It's not available for non-commercial distribution. As far as licensing goes, it's at least as restrictive as any other text I know of. There are I believe only two software packages being allowed to license the text (Logos & OliveTree) and you're not allowed to copy the text from their webpage to post on your own webpage. > I recieved a e-mail message from someone asking about > why we don't have the > NET Bible as a module.

So, like I said, the NET is not very (libre) free and is not easily downloaded from netbible.org. That said, I have the text in a pair of modules (a Bible for the text & a commentary for the notes) but don't expect it to be posted publicly soon, if ever. --Chris
