I just received this response from the copyright holders of the New
Vietnamese Bible (NVB), published in 2002. As I understand their
response, they are granting permission for Crosswire to distribute the
NVB but would like to have linking between the two websites. Perhaps
they want to give people a chance to buy printed editions. I am not
sure how the linking would work exactly, whether we could have a
Vietnamese language wiki page or what, but it seems appropriate to
present this to sword-devel to see what next steps should be taken. Is
this documentation clear enough to satisfy the need to have permission
to distribute a module? What about creating links between the two sites? Daniel -------- Original Message --------
Good morning Daniel,
Â
I pray that you are well and that the
Lord is blessing you. The VBI NVB Publication Committee has approved
your request (below) on behalf of Crosswire Bible Society. Â
Â
We have approved a mutual partnership
with Crosswire that will link Crosswire with our NVB website, and our
website with Crosswire's. Dual links will serve to increase the web
traffic on both sites, and provide other important options for
searchers. In summary, our site will link to CW so that their VN
users can immediately go to our web site for Scripture and our users
can go immediately to another good English translation on the CW site.Â
  Â
Â
Please let me know the decision of
Crosswire regarding this cross-link partnership.

To
whom it may concern:
I am seeking the copyright holder of the New Vietnamese Bible. I would like to ask permission to distribute the NVB on behalf of the Crosswire Bible Society. The Crosswire Bible Society is a non-profit organization which maintains a library of Bibles and Bible study materials, also called the Sword Library. They develop free Bible programs to use the Sword Library in Windows, Mac, Linux, Palm, and Pocket PC as well as providing an online interface for the library. I would like to make the NVB available for their library. You can view their website at http://www.crosswire.org. My goal is to add Vietnamese-language Bibles and other study materials to the Sword Library as well as translate program interfaces so that Vietnamese pastors can have free Bible software for study and sermon preparation which not only includes Vietnamese texts but Greek, Hebrew, English, and other languages. In the end pastors and students will be able to do serious biblical exegesis using the Sword library. If you could put me in touch with the right person to contact regarding this request, I would appreciate it. I normally live in Vietnam, but I am temporarily in Singapore. I can be reached at (telephone number) or at this email address. Sincerely, Daniel Owens |
