Andrew Huang publishes Lumen's code publicly under the MIT license; the license carries his copyright, dated 2025.^4 The about page says Lumen was created with a conviction that God's boundless love and grace should be accessible to everyone in today's digital world, and that the message of Scripture deserves the best tools its makers can create.^5 It treats the Bible as revelation from a loving God and as a unified story of God's redemptive love, and it says technology should complement and amplify human teachers, in partnership with pastors, teachers, and mentors.^5 The terms make the same limit plain for the AI itself: its content is for education and information, it is not a replacement for traditional theological resources or clerical guidance, and it may sometimes be incorrect.^2
