OliveGrove is built on a combination of original ministry writing and responsibly sourced third-party datasets. This page discloses every external data source used in the system, the license under which it is used, and where it appears in the product.
OlivePress uses third-party data under each source's stated license. Original OlivePress writing, ministry commentary, study synthesis, and page design remain governed by OlivePress and Aamir Din Ministries. This registry exists for source transparency and stewardship — not as a claim of ownership over third-party material.
Where a source requires attribution, that attribution is present both on this page and discretely within the relevant surface of the product. Attribution notices are intentionally unobtrusive: they do not interrupt the study experience but are always present and permanently linked from this page and from the site footer.

These two Textus Receptus datasets are managed together. The Scrivener data supplies the proof-layer rows currently shown on selected lexicon pages. The Robinson/byztxt data stays beside it as a comparison check for the same witness layer.
Proof-layer source
Primary machine-readable TR proof data with Greek surface text, Strong's tagging, morphology, transliteration, and English glosses. OliveGrove currently uses a proof subset for the Greek Textual Witness block on selected lexicon pages.
The repository README states that all data files are provided free of charge without limitation on use, while associated software is licensed under GPL version 3 or greater. OliveGrove ingests data files only for the proof layer.

Comparison check

These records are managed together because they support the doctrine and confessional-boundary layer. Creeds.json supplies structured public-domain confession and creed text; OliveGrove-authored council summaries provide a narrower historical support layer.
Structured confession and creed data
Structured public-domain JSON source for historic Reformed confessions and ecumenical creeds, including the Westminster Confession of Faith, Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms, Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, Nicene Creed, Apostles' Creed, and Athanasian Creed.
The Creeds.json data is released as public domain via The Unlicense. The underlying historical texts are all pre-20th century and are themselves public domain.
Used in: Doctrine artifact confessional boundaries; Future doctrine detail pages
