Open Source Bible Translation

The world's first open-source Bible under CC BY-SA 4.0

The Open Translation Bible is the world's first truly open-source Bible. Released under CC BY-SA 4.0, it guarantees freedom to share God's Word forever.

What Makes It Open Source?

Unlike public domain Bibles (WEB, ASV), the CC BY-SA 4.0 license ensures that all derivative works must also remain free. This protects the Bible from ever being locked behind copyright restrictions.

The Problem with "Public Domain" Bibles

  • World English Bible (WEB) — Print licensing restrictions have emerged
  • Berean Standard Bible (BSB) — Page layout copyright restrictions could one day exist
  • American Standard Version (ASV) — Subsequent derivative versions were not protected
  • King James Version (KJV) — In the UK, Crown Copyright applies

CC BY-SA 4.0: True Freedom

  • Share Freely — Copy, redistribute, and share the Bible without restrictions
  • Adapt & Modify — Create derivative works, translations, and adaptations
  • Commercial Use — Print and sell copies — no permission needed
  • Forever Free — All derivatives must also be CC BY-SA 4.0
