Sources & Licenses

Last updated:

This page lists the source credits and edition-specific licenses for TorahML’s public texts, dictionaries, research data and fonts. TorahML is a free non-commercial research tool.

Third-party material retains its own license; the engine’s MIT license does not relabel imported texts or data. Edition-specific notices accompany readings. This page covers the public sources, not a guarantee of complete coverage in any dictionary.

Some reference sources are used only privately by the owner and are not shown publicly.

Source records and text are mechanically indexed or reformatted for the site; derived features and other limitations are described below. Source names and citations are retained. Share-alike material remains subject to its source license when adapted or redistributed.
