This tests the numbers of books, chapters, and verses in each translation. It makes invalid assertions as each translation may have a different number of verses in each chater as compared to the t_kjv. However I believe we should acheive consistency with the t_kjv verses for ease of use.

@Jmainguy and @scrollmapper this may not be the best place to ask this question, but i don know where else to do so.

I am building a devotional app that is totally free to download and use from app stores. Can I use the scrollmapper SQlite bible database even tho the source code of the app will not be publicly available? or is there a special license you can give me for that please?

My understanding of which means, if you modify the database, you would have to distribute that source code, but I am not a lawyer.

what if i just use/consume the database without modifying it, do i still need to distribute source code? On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, 06:16:31 PM GMT+1, Jonathan Mainguy @.***> wrote:
