I found clause analysis (Greek New Testament) in OpenText.org ( built by these people, http://opentext.org/...t/partners.html ) very useful and created a module on it, but not sure about the distribution issue.

 

In their website, they states,

 

*** For NON-COMMERICAL, personal and academic use only ***

Clause annotation of Matthew (Draft ver. 0.1) - Copyright © OpenText.org 2005

 

Does it mean free for non-commercial distribution?  How do you understand this?

 

I had emailed the contact person for OpenText.org, but received no reply.

 

I attach a screenshot here for your reference.

It would depend on what specific definition of Non-Commercial they are applying also if you look at the bottom of their webpage there is copyright information that runs from 1998-2013 and the last update to the sight was done in 2012. So the webpage may or may not be abandoned.

 

I would try contacting the website owners again

It has always been our intention to release the data so that it could be incorporated into things like e-Sword. Given our current work, however, I would recommend that you wait just a little bit longer. We are in the process of preparing our XML data for release on GitHub, and it will be much easier for you to proceed with your work using the data from this release.

There will also be a clear license for the future data, so you are better off waiting for a proper GitHub release from a legal perspective as well. One of the reasons that our data was never openly released involves copyright issues with regard to the GNT.
