BSB by default; NKJV snippets by reviewed exception

BSB is the canonical published text because it is modern English and dedicated to the public domain for unrestricted website, app, print, and reuse. The NKJV is not banned: short, attributed excerpts may be added after a documented per-use review or written permission. Its ordinary gratis conditions include verse and percentage limits and exclude commentary or other biblical-reference works, so the repository does not bulk-import NKJV as its default corpus.
