All biblical Hebrew text, in any format, may be viewed or copied without restriction. Citation...is appreciated. Please include the version number, 26.0, as a reference.
The XML files are in a few different "standard" formats, all marked up in XML. There are various tools on the 'net that will let you parse the files and build something cool.
I use these files along with the bible_parser Ruby gem to build a MySQL database that backs the service bible-api.com, which is free for everyone to use.
