I think it's safe to assume that the Author grants permission to 
redistribute ;-). (In fact, I'm pretty sure I could make an argument 
that that's explicitly granted...)

Permission to modify, on the other hand...

(To be clear, I'm just trying to amuse folks, not argue that KJV should 
be included in Fedora. At the least, I /would/ argue that we'd have to 
allow other religious texts if we allow any, but I generally agree it's 
better not to start down that slope.)
