Bug#883932: [pkg-crosswire-devel] Fwd: sword-comm-mhc_2.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Bastian Germann <bastiangermann@fishpost.de>]

I filed bug https://tracker.crosswire.org/projects/MOD/issues/MOD-421 to 
clarify the Sword module's copyright situation. As long as that is not 
clear, the module can still be added to non-free.
