SBB denied permissions, someone from Brasília intends to try again.
SBT has been contacted, anticipating answer.
IBB has left the door open to a future favourable answer. Need to follow up with request for permissions on Versão Revisada and its Almeida Século XXI successor.

Tradução Brazileira copy obtained, working library contacts to find a book scanner.
For all these, please ask for further information at sword-devel.
