Zondervan won’t grant such permission unless they get a significant royalty (they quoted me $10,000 + $10/copy distributed) and unless I convince them that my Bible search software is “good enough” for them. For example, I cannot legally post copies of the entire New International Version of the Holy Bible on my web site in a downloadable, searchable, and readily copyable format without the permission of the International Bible Society and Zondervan (copyright owner and publisher). The problem with this system, with respect to the Holy Bible, is that it has had the effect of limiting distribution of God’s Word in modern languages. This has, no doubt, been a factor in the creation of many of the good Modern English translations of the Holy Bible that we now enjoy. By granting authors and translators a legal monopoly (for a limited, but very long, time) on the right of copying and “first sale” of their works, the law makers have made writing and translating very profitable for some people whose works are in great demand.
The copyright laws of most nations and the international treaties that support them are a mixed blessing. A paragraph from the site's FAQ is worth quoting: It is modernization of the American Standard Version (ASV) placed into the public domain. One translation that was produced with the specific intention of avoiding copyright entanglements is the World English Bible. Given this, what significant translations of the Bible can I actually quote at length? These Scriptures may not be sold or otherwise offered for sale.

We have done collaborative work with Watson's Shack & Rail, Art Mart, Art Theatre CoOp, and Willow Creek farm just to name a few.Quoting Biblical text is technically a dicey proposition. Branching out later to sell at local farmers markets. We have always worked with our local neighborhood and community in mind by using Kilgus cream, Hodgson Mill and Severson Farms flours and oats, local apples from Prairie Fruits Farms and blueberries picked just 20 minutes away.
