I am well aware that this does not address the preference majority language

pay for those. This is not unreasonable. One of my few contributions to the
Sword Project code was the encryption code used for locked modules for sale.
However, the current model for selling modules excludes the Crosswire Bible
Society, which actually doesn't handle money. I could through
eBible.org, but I would need help with that.
Thanks for the clarification regarding DBL, Michael - that is very
helpful! Do you know of any projects that sell non-free translations for
the purpose of using them in an open source product?
I have only seen non-free translations in commercial bible software so far.
So, if I understood you correctly, the availability of specific non-free
bible translations for use in an open source product would still depend
on individual negotiation efforts with the respective bible societies?
If I and/or others would want to pursue that route - do you have any
other recommendations, specifically regarding the negotiation process?
Best regards,
Tobias
