  • wordplanet.org/tm/index.htm appears to have fairly relaxed licensing requirements. Quoting wordplanet.org/contact/disclaim.htm: "The Bible content of this webpage is Public Domain and it may be used in accordance with the Licensing agreement below to protect the Author as well as Distributors." (which is a contradiction, since public domain means you can't have a licensing agreement).

This is what i could find.

You can host it in any NoSQL server, may be node, or import it to Mongodb

Tamil Bible is somewhat tricky because the Bible Society of India (BSI) version most protestants use is not under a shareable license. But the older version of the Bible is in the public domain. The Bible can be found in this git repo. It is in USFM format.

If you find USFM hard to keep track of, I actually wrote a script to convert USFM to markdown and the markdown version can be found in my fork here. Inside the md folder, you will find the Bible in GitHub flavoured markdown.
