Is this Bible copyrighted? Yes. This HTML presentation is. Of course, the text itself has been around since 1611 so it is not.
Does this mean that copying is prohibited? No. On the contrary, VideComp encourages as wide and free a distribution as possible. We would like nothing better than every server on the internet and every personal computer to have a copy.
What restrictions exist? The integrity of the text must be maintained. The Presentation may be modified, but any derivative works should remain true to the original KJV.
What unique features does this presentation have? There are two main features. The first is its design to allow linking to a specific verse without the use of forms or scripts. This HTML code works with any simple server that can handle long file names, and any client, even text only clients. We would hope that any author who publishes on the web, when quoting a verse of scripture will link to this or other sites so that the reader can check the context or study the scripture further. The second feature is that non-commercial distribution is encouraged.
Does non-commercial distribution mean that it can not be served from a commercial site, or that commercial sites or pages can not link to it? No. It just means that this Bible presentation should not be merchandized. Commercial enterprises may serve it on the internet or their intranet or even give away copies if they choose. The prohibition against commercialization would include commercial ads or banners.
