It is licensed under the GNU Generic Public License, which means +that it is free to use and distribute, and it stays free. + +Lyrics Projection +----- + +OpenLP's purpose is to project the lyrics of songs and Bible verses using a +computer and a data projector. OpenLP also has the ability to project videos, +images, and also play audio. OpenLP also is highly customizable providing users +with the ability to set up a wide variety of themes, including themes with +video backgrounds. + +Open Source +----- + +OpenLP is open source software. This means that the source code (the +programming instructions the developers write)is open to anyone who wants to +look at it. This gives you, the end user, a few freedoms. + +From a developer's perspective, it gives you the freedom to inspect the code +and make sure that it is not malicious. Also, it gives you the freedom to +change the code and the freedom to "fork" the project and make it your own. + +For end users open source software gives you the freedom to use software as +you wish. You are not required to pay for the software and you are free to +make copies and distribute it to anyone you want. + +GNU General Public License +----- + +The GNU General Public License was specifically chosen because it ensures the +above mentioned freedoms. It specifically states that you are not allowed +to charge for the software, and that you have to distribute the source code as +well. + +You can find a copy of the GNU General Public License from the Help menu +selecting about OpenLP or on-line +at: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
