Licensing and attribution

Last updated: 10 May 2026.

Bible translations

We default to public-domain or open-licensed Scripture so the product is usable without requiring a paid licence per user. Modern translations are gated until provider entitlement is configured.

• World English Bible (WEB) — public domain.
• King James Version (KJV) — public domain in most jurisdictions; Crown copyright applies in the UK.
• American Standard Version (ASV) — public domain.
• Other translations (e.g. NIV, ESV, NASB, CSB) — shown as catalogue metadata and remain unavailable for full reading until the relevant provider entitlement is configured. The Reader clearly labels gated versions and offers a public-domain alternative.

Commentary and study sources

• Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary — public domain.
• Adam Clarke's Commentary — public domain.
• Charles Spurgeon — Treasury of David — public domain.
• Strong's Greek and Hebrew lexicons — public domain.
• Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (cross-references) — public domain.
• Church Fathers (early Christian writings) — public domain or as licensed by their compilers; surfaced with attribution.

Hymns and worship texts

Hymn lyrics shown in the Worship surfaces are public domain (Watts, Wesley, Crosby, Newton, Luther, and others). We do not host or display modern copyrighted lyrics.

Worship videos

Worship and lesson video surfaces query the YouTube Data API for related content under YouTube's terms. We cache results server-side and do not expose API keys to the browser. Embedded playback respects each video's allow-embed setting; if a track is not embeddable we show an outbound link to YouTube instead.

Open Bible Stories (children mode)

Children mode story content is drawn in part from unfoldingWord's Open Bible Stories, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Adaptations are released under the same licence.

Audio

Public-domain audio recordings (LibriVox, archive.org Sermon Index, and similar) are linked or streamed with their original attribution. Read-along TTS uses Gemini text-to-speech and is scoped to public-domain text.

User-provided content

Personal Study uploads remain owned by the user who uploaded them. We store them in a per-user private namespace and do not merge them into shared corpora. Group messages remain visible to other members of that group.

Tutor citations

The AI tutor is required to cite the Scripture passages and corpus sources it drew on. The "Sources used" panel under each answer lists the actual retrieval bundle, not a generic disclaimer. If you find a citation that does not match the answer, please email info@mindfulgaminguk.org.

Reporting a licensing issue

If you believe content on this site infringes a copyright or trademark, email info@mindfulgaminguk.org with subject "Licensing concern" and the URL of the affected page. We respond within a reasonable window and remove infringing content where verified.
