Hello everyone!
It looks like that someone has started to post the King James Bible to s.w.o at:
http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Testament_(King_James_Version)
Before I get flamed, I don't have a posting the Bible to s.w.o. However on the talk page of [[King James Version of the Bible]], I wrote that I have received an email from Jim Black, a UK Online Bible reseller who stated two things:
*The KJV crown copyright is a letters patent not a copyright; *The patent is enforced;
Since Wikipedia has contributors from the UK, should we think twice about posting the KJV to s.w.o?

I know.
Someone on the talk page hinted the copyright/Letters Patent was bogus and I did a little research that proved that false.

No.
That's good to hear.
