By Open Source I mean software that is provided without a financial cost.
I just downloaded BibleDesktop after seeing the name from Pastor Klein. I already like it a lot more than Eloquent, the garbage Mac version of e-Sword. Apparently BibleDesktop uses SWORD modules too, so I'm wondering if I can download various SWORD modules on the net and if they work irrespective of whether the OS is a Mac or Windows. Any thoughts?
I use Bibleworks on Wine/Mac. However I'm surprised that no one has mentioned The Word which is free (Don't know if its Opensource), it is VERY good. It is only for PC but on Wine emulator on Mac it does some things much better than Bibleworks - like copying and pasting Hebrew for a start. Also it is one of the few free packages that has pointed Greek and Hebrew texts.
It should work as the modules are pretty much in plain text. I have actually accessed them directly using a text editor and the only markup they have are a few HTML type tags.I just downloaded BibleDesktop after seeing the name from Pastor Klein.

Just wanted to see how many PB folks out there are using Open Source Bible software such as Xiphos or OpenLP or proprietary software such as Logos. By Open Source I mean software that is provided without a financial cost.

I don't know much about modules because I prefer to use my Kindle for as much supplementary material as possible.

Actually Open Source means that the computer program source code is publically available. Normally the open source license agreement includes a requirement that any changes that one makes is also to be openly shared. There are a number of proprietary Bible programs that are available for free with public domain Bible versions and the option to purchase works that are still in copyright. Olive Tree is an example of this.
When the iPhone first came out there was an effort in The Sword Project to produce an Open Source Bible program for the iPhone. The effort quickly died when it was realized that following the open source license agreement would violate the Apple development license agreement.
Firebible is a Firefox add-on that allows you to access the Sword library right from your browser.
Can't you go to Add-Ons in Firefox and remove it? I know you can easily on a PC, but don't know what Buddhist contortions you need to go through to change anything on a Mac.Firebible is a Firefox add-on that allows you to access the Sword library right from your browser.
OK, I bit. I thought I might try this. Immediately recognized that it simply isn't the way I do things. Now I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions? Using MacBook with OS 10.7.5.
