As you can read in the originally linked thread, a CrossWire author 
claims that engKJV2006eb (and probably engKJV1769eb as well) being 
published as public domain is a wrong claim. If that proves to be true I 
would go for the KJVCPB. That comes without the Strong's numbers, which 
obviously seem to be the main addition by CrossWire.
