This is the Old Testament in Danish, authorized by the Danish King in 1931, and published by the Danish Bible Society in the same year. The old, pre-1948 orthography has been retained.
Public Domain. Copy freely.
Yes, Ulrik has an email from the Danish Bible Society confirming that the 1931 Danish Old Testament is in the Public Domain. Feel free to inquire.
Somewhere in the 1980'ies, a Danish couple scanned and OCR'ed a 1933 copy of the Danish Old Testament from 1931. Søren Horn, one of the Danish Internet pioneers, placed it online. The text then found its way to Project Runeberg at Linköping University in Sweden, from whence Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen got it in 2005 and spent a lot of time cleaning it up. Ulrik then OSIS-ified it, and put it on Github in 2015.
