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?
