DO YOU NEED MORE BIBLE VERSIONS for OPENLP?

Dani · December 2012

I have recently converted 75 Bible versions into xmm (opensong format). All you need to do is download and import file, choose opensong option, fill in the name and copyright - its that simple.

Sadly there's no way to upload it here, follow the link if you are interested. http://fedode.blogspot.com/2012/12/75-bible-versions-compatible-with-openlp.html

Oh! I almost forgot to mention - its completely free.

One small Question Dani.

Have you secured copyright permission on these versions? Most translations of the bible are copyright, so unless you have secured permission, then the file is technically in violation of copyright.

Dani · December 2012

Hmmm! thats true. I'm gonna edit the list and remove the copyrighted versions, leaving only the 'free' ones.

Thanks Wogster

@Dani:
And those which are not copyrighted you could submit to support [a] openlp.org or add them to http://www.wiki.openlp.org/Sample_Data#Bibles

Then we can include them in the First Time Wizard

@googol:

I'd be glad to help the openlp project in any way I can.

I have a question for those who are familiar with copyright law. Some of the translations I have checked are copyrighted but listed under "free download" by e-SWORD while others are for sale - can I group the "free download" copies as public domain files?

wogster · December 2012

Generally no, but it doesn't mean the end of the story, you have two options,

1) You can include a link document where someone can click the link in their browser and go to e-SWORD to get a copy.

2) You can contact the original publisher to seek permission to copy, yourself. Some are easy to secure, some are not. Generally though if e-SWORD has it as a free download, it's probably easier rather then harder.

I need to down load a couple new versions of Bibles. I have not done this yet, so, is there anything for a first time effort to avoid?

Thank you in Advance
