I just wrote and posted a brief history of the World English Bible. The World English Bible is a Public Domain (not copyrighted) translation of the Holy Bible into modern English. It’s main claim to fame is that it is an open-text free project that can be freely copied and published without paying royalties or even having to ask. The only thing proprietary about it is its name and logo, which are trademarks that may only be used to describe the unmodified text of the World English Bible as published by Rainbow Missions, Inc.
