Public bug reported:
In the UK (but not the rest of the world), the copyright on the
Authorized (King James) version of the Bible is perpetual and it may
only be printed, distributed or imported by those who have official
royal permission. I don't know if there are any special exceptions for
electronic distribution; if there are not, then technically Canonical
Ltd (a UK company) cannot "distribute" this package or any CD image of
Ubuntu which contains it, and it would be illegal for any UK resident to
log on to a non-UK site to download the package (or a CD image
containing it) if that counts as "importing".
