As Phill said, in the UK you only need to provide the initials, which
are normally entered as the Bible name, e.g. "NIV". So
copyright/permissions are not required.

Could it be made a warning, rather than an error?

Title:
  OpenLP requires coppyright information when it is not necessary

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Tried to set up an online bible according to
  http://www.biblestudytools.com/niv/ (which is the niv from crosswalk)
  I do not need to provide a copy right notice (see below excerpt from
  previous link), however OpenLP forces me to enter the copyright
  information.

  SecondallyI it would be nice if OpenLP provided a link in the bible
  importer to the download source, to help locate additional
  information.

  The NIV® is a translation of  Biblica.
  When quotations from the NIV Family text are used in non-saleable media, such as church bulletins, orders of service, posters, transparencies or similar media, a complete copyright notice is not required, but the initials NIV, TNIV, or NIrV must appear at the end of each quotation.
