NOTICE: record corpus provenance and licences accurately
The file asserted that no copyrighted translation is redistributed and listed all four corpora as public domain. Neither is true any longer, and one of them never was. * wuj is public domain EXCEPT roughly 300 verses -- the deuterocanonical passages biblia.info.pl does not carry at all -- which come from the 1962 Styś revision. Wujek's translation is public domain; ks. Styś died in 1959, so his revision is in copyright in Poland until the end of 2029. It is used by permission granted for this project, which is NOT a general licence: anyone redistributing the corpus, or shipping a fullbible binary, needs their own. The passages are listed. * grb's New Testament is the SBLGNT under CC BY 4.0, which REQUIRES attribution -- previously absent entirely. grb's own README still calls it "non-commercial", which is out of date; sblgnt.com now serves CC BY 4.0. The required notice is given, including that the text is modified here (apparatus sigla stripped, non-canonical books omitted). * grb's Old Testament is Rahlfs' Septuagint and its status is genuinely unsettled -- Rahlfs died in 1935, but the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft asserts rights, the 2006 editio altera is a separate work, and get.bible labels the same text "Copyrighted; Free non-commercial distribution". Recorded as unsettled rather than claimed either way. Also notes the eight Douay-Rheims verses filled from get.bible's public-domain douayrheims, and that Baruch 6:37 is a versification difference rather than a gap.

+--------------------------------
+The bulk of the Wujek corpus -- the great majority of its 35,810 verses -- was
+harvested from biblia.info.pl's Biblia Jakuba Wujka (scripts/scrape-wujek.py),
+a public-domain text. Chapter and verse structure was then repaired against the
+Clementine Vulgate; the corpus now carries exactly the Vulgate's verse set.

+Roughly 300 verses are NOT from that source and NOT public domain: the 286 in

+Derived from grb (https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/grb) by

+canon. Upstream carries 87 books; the eleven with no Vulgate counterpart are

+Susanna and Bel in Theodotion's version, which is the one Jerome translated;

Scripture corpora — embedding and licence
-----------------------------------------
The bible corpora are NOT covered by lectio's AGPL licence. They are separate
-public-domain scripture texts, each with its own provenance, redistributed under

+third-party scripture texts, each with its own provenance and its own terms.
+They are not uniformly public domain -- see the sections above for detail:
- vul Latin Vulgate (Clementine), public domain.
- wuj Biblia Jakuba Wujka (1599), Polish, public domain.
- drb Douay-Rheims (Challoner), English, public domain.
- grb Greek Septuagint / New Testament, public domain.
+ vul Latin Vulgate (Clementine). Public domain.

+ wuj Biblia Jakuba Wujka. Public domain EXCEPT ~300 verses from the
+ 1962 Styś revision, in copyright until the
+ end of 2029 and used here by permission
+ granted for this project only.

+ attribution required). Old Testament
+ Rahlfs' Septuagint, licence unsettled.
Only the Latin Vulgate (internal/bible/corpora/vul.tsv) is embedded in the
