Overview
The Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB) is an open-licensed version of the Bible derived from The American Standard Version, and updated using the most reliable Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek copies of the Biblical texts available. It is intended to accurately reflect the meanings of those texts and to be used as a source text for Bible translators to translate the Bible into their own language. This repository contains the USFM source files for the Unlocked Literal Bible.

Should we add something like this?

Those texts are the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and the Open Greek New Testament.

Explanation from Drew -

The ULB was translated from the ASV 1901. Then it was updated with more modern scholarship.
The basis of the ULB-NT is the OGNT.
For the OT, WA tried to be consistent with the BHS. (It will take some work to make the BHS become the basis for the ULB-OT.)

There are are 66 differences between the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, only 2 of which affect translation. In those two places, the ULB follows the OGNT. (Susan, confirm with Drew that I got this right.)
