What to weigh

Attribution
Some licences ask for credit and some do not. A credit line is easy to forget on a weekly slide, so check before you rely on a set.
NonCommercial
A NonCommercial licence can leave a church unsure whether its use qualifies. Read the licence text and ask the publisher if you are unsure.
ShareAlike and standalone use
ShareAlike asks you to share changes under the same licence, and some stock licences bar redistributing a file as it is. Do not pass files on unless the licence says you may.
Songs are separate
A background's licence does not cover song lyrics or the licence your church needs for songs.
