A public domain version may be used freely! It would be non-profit, generous, free, and available. For example, Gideon's International freely distributes bibles to people and it puts Bibles into hotels across the USA. They now print NKJV, and probably pay a royalty...

Imagine them finding a most accurate version of New Testament online for free, and being able to distribute it (with no royalties)! (Imagine a good Peshitta translation in every hotel across the USA also!)

Also, people could share the text -- a "select few" would NOT be controlling / restricting the text. Also a public domain version would not so focus on the financial profit, but rather helping people out. In the realm of copyright-dominated Bibles, a public domain Peshitta could be like July 4, 1776!!!!
