UK copyright law makes this package illegal to distribute

[Silas S. Brown]

In the UK (but not the rest of the world), the copyright on the Authorized (King James) version of the Bible is perpetual and it may only be printed, distributed or imported by those who have official royal permission. I don't know if there are any special exceptions for electronic distribution; if there are not, then technically Canonical Ltd (a UK company) cannot "distribute" this package or any CD image of Ubuntu which contains it, and it would be illegal for any UK resident to log on to a non-UK site to download the package (or a CD image containing it) if that counts as "importing".

Cambridge University Press at http://www.cambridge.org/home/page/item6459996/ say "We grant permission to use the text, and license printing or the importation for sale within the UK, as long as we are assured of acceptable quality and accuracy" and the permission request form is at http://www.cambridge.org/rights/corporate/permission.htm so could somebody ask them for appropriate permissions on this version?
