I can't use the _Path of Purification_ PDF version of AccessToInsight.org because ...
1. I want to restructure/retranslate Visuddhimagga into english.
2. I want to add the reference link in each word of Visuddhimagga to the source in tipitaka.
3. I want to make the link **directly** to the expected page of Visuddhimagga and make the highlight to the expected text when I answer or make an article.
... so I want the computerised text version, to publish in HTML format on the internet.
It requires a very long time to do a new translation of it all, because English is not my native language -- and I require a very long time as well to translate pāli even in my native language -- and so I think it would be faster and more effective to restructure from another's version/translation.
Therefore:
1. Is there a free (i.e. [libre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre) or [open](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source)) version of Visuddhimagga in a computerized text format?
2. Is there a computerised text version of the Budaedu's Visuddhimagga version ?
Or can you tell me about obtaining permission (and the data) from a copyright holder?

I'm principally looking for something like [a license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/) which allows:
- Distribution and
- Creating a derivative work
... and a corresponding text format which can be converted to e.g. HTML.
