Obviously the text is public domain by now (Fortunately Mickey Mouse was not around in the 16th century), but I'm just wondering about the licensing of the source for your typesetting i.e. main.tex, which I am presuming is subject to copyright, though I have yet to hear of anyone duking it out in court over a latex file, but I think that's more because they tend to be already proprietary and confidential or simply go unpublished.

Reason I ask is I have this late night project over here the Computing Bible, in the vein of the KJB; it's a nice job you've done there and I wouldn't want to just rip it off for legal and moral reasons so I'm wondering what terms you are licensing that under as, well, if you're the author you own the copyright on it whether you want it or not according to at least the US courts, and unless specified otherwise all rights are presumed to be reserved! I'd probably just add a LICENSE file or a comment at the top to make things clear.
