It is released under a Free and Open Source Software license. You can download LyX 2.1.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. LyX 2.1.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Many of these were minor, but there were a few crashes we fixed, too. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
