Dale,
You miss the context. The original discussion was that the King James Bible
is not `documentation' and should be moved from the docs section into
another one,
e.g. books (the name of the `other one' section is under discussion).
Everybody
agreed (that's my impression at least), that this was legitimate, since
someone
could upload the Koran, Alice in Wonderland, or other texts [I'm kidding
at the
moment, since I don't now which of these texts are really free].
