MediaCMS
MediaCMS is a video and media site you host. People upload, watch, and embed. The license is AGPL-3.0. It stays on your server. It does not join a network of other sites the way PeerTube can.
Open source means you can use, change, and share the code.

Keep MediaCMS correct?
If a license, a price, or a feature mark is wrong, send a correction. Want your tool shown as a sponsor? Paying never changes rankings or scores, and it cannot take the #1 spot.
