[pkg-crosswire-devel] Fwd: sword-comm-mhc_2.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Roberto C. Sánchez]

It seems that the MHC module was initially prepared when the CCEL site
allowed free download and republication of the plain text format content
(i.e., it was in the public domain) [0].  This seems to have changed
about 1 year ago to the current form that Thorsten referenced :-(

Regards,

-Roberto
