Re: OEB information about update?

Thank you, Troy, for the vote of confidence. Yes, I rigorously follow 
copyright laws on eBible.org. If I didn't, the Every Tribe Every Nation 
Digital Bible Library would not be so welcoming to my organizational 
membership. I try wherever possible to negotiate open access licenses so 
that most of the eBible.org collection is redistributable, but I do have 
some copyrighted texts that I have permission to distribute, but anyone 
else would have to get separate permission from the copyright owners. 
Those are all documented on the copyright information page associated 
with each Bible translation. I also meticulously maintain eBible.org 
with updates, corrections, and additions. I will update the OEB and 
OEBcth modules on eBible.org.

Also, note that I got a complaint yesterday about a typo in the WEBBE 
module. It was corrected long ago in the eBible.org repository, but not 
yet in Crosswire main. While I have no problem with Crosswire Main 
duplicating any or all of my open access texts, it can become a problem 
if some of those fall behind. The World English Bible is now very 
stable, but even then, I will correct any obvious typo if found. That is 
becoming very rare, though. Still, I have other Bible translations 
posted that are in active translation and editing, and I keep up with those.
