Source-first publishing
Content rights and attribution
What the labels mean
- Public domain: the work, source edition, and digital-use evidence have been reviewed for the stated use.
- Permission granted: written permission controls exactly what may be linked, quoted, displayed, hosted, narrated, or sold.
- Official link only: the app points to the rights holder or authorized host without copying the protected work.
- Needs review or permission needed: the resource must remain out of the public library until the open question is resolved.
Source and edition matter
An old author's original work may be public domain while a modern edition, translation, introduction, transcription, recording, cover, photograph, or database remains protected. Age alone is not treated as sufficient evidence.
Current foundation
The KJV reader uses the public-domain text identified by the es-kjv source. Webster 1828, Strong's, TSK-style cross references, historical commentaries, books, hymns, maps, images, and media are admitted through separate source manifests and review checks. Project Gutenberg material retains its applicable license and trademark considerations.
Resource recommendations are also evaluated against the public doctrinal basis.
Modern authors and ministries
Modern books, excerpts, covers, sermons, audio, video, transcripts, and generated narration are not assumed to be available. Written scope must address attribution, storage, editing, narration, paid access, sales, territories, reporting, and withdrawal where those uses apply.
Rights holders may review the founding partnership path before beginning a title-specific conversation.
Report a concern
Rights holders and readers may report a source or rights concern. Include the resource title, author, exact page or screen, and the correction requested. A disputed item may be restricted while the evidence is reviewed.
