Use the project’s documented identity
The original site and FAQ identify Libreflix as an open and collaborative streaming platform. It collects independent productions and supports local work and free culture. Match libreflix.org when following a recommendation; a different website with the same short brand name should not automatically inherit this project’s identity or stated licensing approach.
The catalogue combines several forms
The official site separates documentaries, fiction, shorts, series, classics and Brazilian work. Use those formats to narrow a search rather than assuming every item is a feature film. Check the actual creator and production year when a title also belongs to another film, since a shared name does not identify an identical work.
Free viewing does not mean unrestricted reuse
The FAQ says films must at least be authorised by their rights holders for free exhibition online. It does not say that every work carries an identical permission to redistribute, alter or commercially screen it. Consult the specific film’s licence and creator information before treating playback access as a broader permission. Creative Commons also distinguishes its licences from public-domain tools. A named permissive licence can retain conditions; it should not be silently relabelled as public domain merely because the film streams without charge.
Collaboration is a separate part of the project
The FAQ describes contributing code, suggesting productions and helping edit catalogue information. Open-source software and an individually licensed film are different components. A contribution or listed source-code licence does not establish ownership of every film. For ordinary viewing, inspect the actual programme and its legitimate playback route rather than importing a paid-service account or installation template.
Questions, answered
Does a free film automatically allow every kind of reuse?
No. The project states a minimum online-exhibition permission; inspect the work’s own licence.
Is the platform’s open-source code licence necessarily every film’s licence?
No. Software and audiovisual works have separate licensing information.
