WorshipDeck's code is published under the MIT License. Everything below explains that license in everyday language, so you do not have to read it yourself. The official MIT License text is in English and is not translated. Where this page and the LICENSE file differ, LICENSE governs.
Using WorshipDeck
You may run WorshipDeck for any purpose, on as many computers as you like, in a church or organization of any size. There is no fee, no registration, no user limit, and no license key.
Nothing you make with WorshipDeck becomes subject to this license. The MIT License covers only WorshipDeck's own code, not the orders of service you put together, the slides you build, or the PowerPoint files you export.
Changing and Sharing It
You may read the source code, change it, and give copies to anyone, changed or not, free or for a price. One condition applies: include the copyright notice and the license text with every copy of the code.
What the License Does Not Cover
The MIT License covers the code in the repository. It does not cover the content the application ships with:
- The hymn texts of The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985) belong to the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and Review and Herald Publishing Association. Each hymn also has its own authors and copyright holders; many are in the public domain, some are not. These texts are included for worship and study within congregations. WorshipDeck does not sell them or license them, and including them is not a claim of any right in them.
- The King James Version Bible text is included as a corpus file. In most countries this text is in the public domain. In the United Kingdom it remains under Crown copyright, and its use there follows the patent holders' standing terms for non-commercial worship and devotional use.
The full statement, and how a rights holder can ask for removal, is in ATTRIBUTIONS.md in the repository. If you redistribute WorshipDeck, that statement goes with the content.
Fonts
WorshipDeck ships font files under their own licenses, the SIL Open Font License 1.1 or the Apache License 2.0, not the MIT License. Each font family, its license, and its copyright holder are listed in the third-party notices in the repository, which are also installed with the installer.
You may use these fonts on your slides and embed them in the PowerPoint files you export; both licenses allow it. The fonts may not be sold on their own. If you redistribute WorshipDeck, the font license notices go with the files.
Fonts you upload yourself stay under their own licenses. Making sure those licenses allow use and embedding is your responsibility.
No Warranty
The license disclaims all warranty and all liability: the software comes as it is. WorshipDeck is new software.
Test WorshipDeck on the computer you will use before a service depends on it, and keep the exported PowerPoint file as a fallback. The Security page explains what to check.
Third-Party Code
WorshipDeck is built on open source libraries for Go and the web, each under its own license. The list, with versions and licenses, is in ATTRIBUTIONS.md in the repository.
The Name and the Icon
The MIT License grants rights over code. It says nothing about names or logos. If you publish a modified build, give it your own name and your own icon, so the people using it know whom to ask when something goes wrong.
Questions
Anything the license does not settle: support@wiradelta.com. The person reading that email maintains WorshipDeck, and the answer is not legal advice.
