I actually contacted Crossway about the relationship they have with the NCCC.
Their response, was that the paid NCCC a one time undisclosed amount for the use of the RSV text.
Crossway owns the full copyright to the ESV and no proceeds from the sales of ESV bibles goes to the NCCC.
Below is the relevant Q&A from the Crossway.com Web site...
"Does Crossway pay royalties to anyone for use of the ESV text?
No. Crossway owns the rights to the text."
I know some KJV-Only folks (none here) that have been informed about the status of the ESV's copyright but yet continue to propagate the myth that each purchase of the ESV sends funds to the NCCC. This is slander.
