[edit] Distribution

The home page of Ubuntu Christian Edition clearly states that scripts for installing e-Sword are included.

FWIW, their home page lists three Bible Study Programs:

  • GnomeSword Bible Study;
  • The WORD;
  • e-Sword;

This (Ubuntu Christian Edition) was the first operating system distribution to include e-Sword as an installable package. The e-Sword binary was replaced with scripts to download, and install e-Sword, due to licensing issues. In specific, the license for e-Sword prohibits distribution of the executable file on the Internet from any source other than e-Sword.net.

The issues related to The Sword Project are discussed in that section of this article. jonathon 23:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

The link is valid. A redesign of e-sword.net results in connections by bots,and similar critters in being rejected.jonathon (talk) 14:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
