From 79f9ae051c1e8f179e2e7c17f590c105eb18bef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Kasprzak Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 11:13:20 +0200 Subject: NOTICE: record corpus provenance and licences accurately MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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 grb's own README still calls it "non-commercial", which is out of date; sblgnt.com now serves CC BY 4.0.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. --- NOTICE | 92 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 84 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/NOTICE b/NOTICE index 8aeffa2..00cefed 100644 --- a/NOTICE +++ b/NOTICE @@ -33,8 +33,9 @@ the Sunday and temporal-solemnity lectionary, all three cycles, via scripts/genlect-of-sundays-cr.py; and the proper readings of the OF sanctoral — feasts, solemnities and proper-reading memorials — inlined into roman-calendar.ini via scripts/gen-of-sanctoral-readings.py).
