Copyright, licenses, and notices

Effective: 17 August 2026

1. App source code

King James 1611 Assistant program code is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3. A copy is in the project file LICENSE and at gnu.org. GPL does not put the Operator’s trademarks, ministry names, or this Site’s branding into the public domain.

2. King James Bible text

The bundled Scripture is a digitized 1611 King James Version (80 books: 66 canonical plus Apocrypha as in 1611), from the public-domain transcription lineage documented in the project README (including the aruljohn/Bible-kjv-1611 corpus as used by the App). Verse count in that corpus: 36,702.

The 1611 King James text is in the public domain in the United States and most countries. In the United Kingdom, the Authorised Version remains subject to Crown printing and distribution rights (King’s Printer / certain university presses). This App redistributes a digitized public-domain transcription for personal offline study. UK commercial printers should take their own advice before typesetting the AV for sale.

Display spelling is modernized on the device (for example shepheard → shepherd) without replacing the stored study text used for citations. That display layer is part of the App, not a claim to a new Bible translation copyright in the KJV wording.

3. Other bundled study content

Cross-references, dictionary (Easton’s 1893), maps, extras (parables, people, commandments, and similar teaching modules), and reading-plan catalogs are shipped as App assets. Where a work is public domain, we rely on that status. Where a work is original to the App, it is copyright the Operator and licensed with the App under GPL-3.0 unless a file says otherwise.

4. Optional model files (not GPL by default)

Catalog downloads from Hugging Face (including Qwen GGUF) and the gated Cloudflare copy of Gemma 4 E4B remain under the model publishers’ licenses. Downloading them does not make them GPL. You must comply with those licenses (including any acceptable-use rules for Gemma). We do not grant rights we do not have.

5. Third-party Android / site components

AndroidX, Kotlin, Room, security-crypto, Compose, Piper/sherpa-onnx, and other libraries remain under their own notices in the source tree / Gradle licenses. The Site may load Google Fonts and Tawk.to; those vendors keep their rights. The Together confirmation page talks to Supabase Auth and does not embed Tawk.to. The public prayer wall asks Supabase only for prayer text and does not embed Tawk.to.

6. Names we do not claim

The App is not Adrian Rogers, Love Worth Finding, or Bellevue Baptist Church, and is not endorsed by them. You may not use those names to brand forks, listings, or ads for this App. “King James” and “Holy Bible” are used descriptively for the public-domain translation.

God’s first-person words are not to be generated as App or chatbot speech except as verified Scripture quotations.

7. Screenshots and icon on this Site

The launcher icon and fastlane screenshots on this Site illustrate the App. They are not a license to reuse the icon as your own store listing for a different package.

8. No extra rights from Together

User prayers and display names remain the users’. Hosting them in an invite group, and showing the prayer text anonymously on the Site wall, is not a transfer of copyright beyond what is needed to display those copies. See Terms.
