Welcome to Kivy's documentation. Kivy is an open source software library for rapid development of applications equipped with novel user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.
You are probably wondering why you'd be interested in using Kivy. There is a document outlining our philosophy that we encourage you to read.
We recommend that you get started with installation and then head over to the quickstart document. Besides the quickstart, there is also a more detailed architecture.
If you want to contribute to Kivy, make sure to read contributing. If your concern isn't addressed in the documentation, feel free to contact.

The appendix contains licensing information and an enumeration of all the different module, class, function and variable names available in Kivy.
Kivy is released under the terms of the GNU LGPL Version 3. You should have received a copy of the LGPL alongside your Kivy distribution. See the file COPYING in the Kivy root folder. An online version of the license can be found at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt
In a nutshell the license allows you to use Kivy in your own projects, regardless if they are open source, closed source, commercial or free. The one thing the license does enforce is that if you make changes to the Kivy sourcecode itself, you have to share those changes with us.
