Source code & licence

FrameComment is free software. The application serving this website — every page you can reach here, and the app behind the login — is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3. You are entitled to the complete source code for it, and you are free to run, study, change and redistribute it under the same licence.

Getting the source

The complete Corresponding Source for the version running here is published at github.com/DragosOnisei/FrameComment. Each release is tagged, so the exact source for a given deployment can be checked out by its version tag.

The published container image is dragosonisei/framecomment, built by CI from that repository. This site is currently running version 7.8.0.

If you cannot use GitHub, or the repository is ever unreachable, write to [email protected] and we will send you the Corresponding Source for the running version by another means.

Where it came from

FrameComment is a derivative work of ViTransfer by Mansi Visuals, forked from ViTransfer 1.0.2 on 2 May 2026 and re-versioned from 1.0.0. The copyright in the inherited code belongs to its original author, who licensed it under the AGPL-3.0. Everything added since is copyright MINDQUB S.R.L. and is licensed under the same terms, because the licence requires the work to be released as a whole under the AGPL.

The FrameComment name, logo and visual identity are MINDQUB's trademarks and are not covered by the software licence. You may run and modify the code; you may not present your version as FrameComment.

What you may do with it

  • • Run it, for any purpose, including commercially.
  • • Read it, change it, and self-host your own instance.
  • • Redistribute it, modified or not, under the AGPL-3.0 — and if you run a modified version as a network service, offer your users its source in turn. That last part is the clause that brought you to this page.

The licence text ships with the source, in LICENSE, alongside NOTICE and LICENSING-NOTES.md, which record the attribution in detail.

Your data is not the software

The licence covers the code, not the content. Your projects, videos, comments and files remain yours; how they are handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
