Scripture Text Licenses and Source Transparency

OliveGrove publishes Scripture in two Public Domain translations: the Berean Standard Bible (BSB, default) and the World English Bible (WEB). Both are CC0 and entirely unrestricted. Readers can toggle between them on any chapter page.

Policy Statement

OliveGrove uses third-party Scripture text in accordance with each translation's stated license posture. Original OliveGrove writing, ministry commentary, study synthesis, page design, and non-derived materials remain governed by OliveGrove and Aamir Din Ministries.

This page exists for source clarity and stewardship. It should not be read as a claim of ownership over third-party translation text, but as a governed disclosure of Scripture text source, publication status, and attribution posture within OliveGrove.
