KJV Bible Search Ecosystem — Complete Scope

For all legal, licensing, privacy, intellectual-property, authenticity, security and enforcement purposes in these documents, the “KJV Bible Search Ecosystem” means the complete KJV Bible Search platform developed, published, operated, distributed and/or licensed by ALPHA & OMEGA LIMITED, including without limitation:

the KJV Bible Search WordPress Plugin, including the current v1.5.3 Security Hardened release, future official releases, and official ZIP distributions, subject always to GPL-2.0-or-later for GPL-covered code;

all live PWAs, installable web applications, browser-installable editions, service workers, web app manifests, caches and offline application resources;
all official downloadable ZIP packages, archives, installers, release packages, update packages, manifests, release notices and historical/superseded official releases;
all original source code and software expression to the extent protectable and owned or controlled by ALPHA & OMEGA LIMITED, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, JSON-related application logic, configuration, integration code, search logic, rendering logic, navigation logic, Text-to-Speech integration, highlighting systems, Copy/Share systems, theme systems, PWA logic, WordPress integration and other software components;

all release-authenticity and integrity systems, including SHA-256 hashes, signed manifests, integrity files, fingerprints, verification logic, public verification keys and release-identification data;
all confidential private signing keys, credentials, secrets and non-public security material, which are not distributed or licensed; and
all future KJV Bible Search versions, editions, deployments, authorised mirrors, replacement domains and delivery methods expressly identified by ALPHA & OMEGA LIMITED as part of the KJV Bible Search Ecosystem.

Rights boundary: inclusion in the KJV Bible Search Ecosystem does not convert public-domain material into proprietary material, does not override GPL-2.0-or-later rights in GPL-covered WordPress code, does not override a third-party/open-source licence, and does not claim rights that ALPHA & OMEGA LIMITED does not own or lawfully control. Mandatory statutory rights and exceptions remain unaffected.

1. Licence controlling the plugin code

The plugin identifies its covered software code as licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or any later version (GPL-2.0-or-later). The GPL controls the rights to use, study, copy, modify and redistribute GPL-covered code. No KJV Bible Search term adds a restriction to rights the GPL grants for that covered code.

2. Official distribution versus GPL rights

The Company's clickwrap controls access to the Company's own official download channel. After lawful receipt, GPL-covered code remains subject to the GPL. Redistribution or modification must comply with the GPL's own conditions.

3. Ownership and retained rights

No licence is granted to falsely claim that a fork, modified package or historical release is the unchanged current Official Release. Trade marks, logos, passing-off rights, confidential signing material and third-party rights operate separately from the GPL.

4. Modifications and new materials

A person who lawfully modifies GPL-covered code may own copyright in their original contribution to the extent provided by law, while the underlying covered code remains subject to its applicable rights. Nothing here assigns that contributor's new copyright to ALPHA & OMEGA LIMITED unless a separate written assignment says so.

5. Integrity and signatures

The public verification key may be used for legitimate verification. The private release-signing key is confidential and is not licensed. Hashes, signatures, release fingerprints and authenticity statements must not be forged or falsified to deceive users about official status.

6. Branding

KJV Bible Search names, logos and source-identifying branding must not be used in a way likely to mislead users about origin, sponsorship, verification or endorsement. Modified distributions should be clearly identified as modified.

7. Scripture and third-party material

No proprietary ownership is claimed over public-domain Scripture merely because it is bundled with the plugin. Jurisdiction-specific Authorized Version rights and all separate third-party/open-source licences remain applicable.

8. Warranties and liability

Subject to mandatory rights, the plugin is supplied without promises of uninterrupted operation, universal compatibility or absolute security. Liability limitations in the general Terms apply only to the extent permitted by law.

9. Termination

Rights under the GPL are governed by the GPL, including its own termination/reinstatement provisions. General proprietary or branding permissions may end for material breach to the extent permitted by law, but this does not rewrite GPL rights.

10. Governing framework

Mandatory law and the GPL take priority over inconsistent general website terms for GPL-covered code. New Zealand law otherwise governs the Company's separate proprietary rights and contractual terms, subject to non-waivable local rights.
