Evening,
I recall last year there being a good amount of discussion generated here in response to Crossway approving a Catholic Edition of the ESV.
Well, I was reading through the latest copy of ONE Magazine, which is the denominational publication of the National Association of Free Will Baptists, and there was an announcement informing the reader that Crossway recently denied licensing of the ESV to Randall House for a Study Bible they intend on publishing. The reason given was Crossway didn't want an Arminian set of notes to accompany the ESV.
I found this decision by Crossway interesting. I wonder why they would allow the ESV to be tweaked by Catholic scholars for a Catholic edition of the ESV, but they reject Randall House from using the ESV, as is, for their translation of choice in a Study Bible? Seems inconsistent to me at first glance.
Here's the announcement:

Randall House Study Bible Update
After petitioning to license the ESV translation, Crossway the publisher who owns the rights to the ESV, denied usage. Known to be Reformed in theology, they cited a reluctance to allow an Arminian set of notes accompanying their text. Randall House is exploring other translations, seeking one suitable for our people and providing the highest quality study helps for our pastors and teachers.
