Sources and licences

From the 80-weahadu project by EOTCOpenSource, under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. This covers all bundled Scripture: the Bible books in the Library, the Psalter in both Amharic and Ge'ez, and the psalms and gospels arranged into the hours.

The verse text is reproduced unchanged, with two exceptions of arrangement rather than wording: the acrostic letters of Psalm 118 are rendered as stanza headings, and psalm chapter labels follow the Ge'ez (LXX) numbering.

What this means: this text may not be used commercially and may not be redistributed in modified form, by this project or by anyone forking it. Sinq is and will remain non-commercial: no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.

The fixed 366-day cycle, together with the movable, Sunday, Athanasius and ባሕረ ሓሳብ collections, was scanned and transcribed from the printed ግጻዌ by Sinq's maintainer, who releases that transcription as open content under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, the same terms as the Bible text. The underlying lectionary is traditional Ethiopian Orthodox material.

Forks and redistributors need their own permission for it; it is not covered by the code's Apache-2.0 grant.

Both editions of መጽሐፈ ስንክሳር (Amharic and Ge'ez, 366 days each) were scanned and digitized directly from publicly available printed editions and PDF scans by Sinq's maintainer, who releases the transcription as open content under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, the same terms as the Bible text. The underlying commemorations are centuries-old traditional Ethiopian Orthodox liturgical content.

The prayers themselves are centuries-old, public-domain Ethiopian Orthodox liturgical texts. This digitization was scanned and digitized directly from publicly available printed editions and PDF scans by the maintainer, and reshaped into liturgical stanzas for the app.
