Creator FAQ
This page is for creators with quick questions. Each answer links the page with the details. Facts as of 18 October 2026.
Contents
Programs and money
Is there a creator, influencer or affiliate program? None is documented. Do not describe yourself as part of one (What the sources do not say).
May I monetize a video about Exponential? The documentation sets no rule against it. The software is free under the GPL, and the press kit allows its brand assets for "editorial, review, and partnership coverage". Check your platform's rules and the licenses of any music or fonts you add (Third-party music, fonts and assets).
Someone offered to pay me to talk about Exponential. Is that allowed? That is between you and them; disclose it clearly (Disclosure and sponsorship ethics, Paid, gifted and affiliate content). If they claim to act for 7x or the Foundation, confirm it through Press contacts.
Can I ask viewers to sponsor the project? Yes. Link the real sponsor pages: https://github.com/sponsors/exponentialcms (the Foundation) and https://github.com/sponsors/se7enxweb (7x) (Writing about funding and sponsors).
Using the brand and the software
May I use the logo in my thumbnail? For editorial or review coverage, unaltered, without implying endorsement (Logos and brand assets).
May I show the administration on screen? Yes, on an installation of your own with demo data (Setting up a demo installation, Privacy on camera).
May I reuse text from the help in my script? Yes, under the GNU FDL, with attribution (Quoting and reusing the documentation).
May I call my channel "Exponential something"? The sources set no rule; avoid names that suggest you are official, and ask first through Press contacts.
Access and help
Can I get early access to a release? Development is public: the main branch shows what is coming. Label what no tag contains yet "in development" (Covering 6.0.15, before and after its tag).
Can someone help me set up a demo? The help covers it; for questions, the forums and the Telegram chat (Handling comments and questions).
Will the project share or feature my video? Nothing is documented about featuring creators. You may tell the community about it in the places meant for sharing (Official channels and social accounts).
Can I interview someone from 7x or the Foundation? Ask (Requesting an interview).
Mistakes and corrections
I said something wrong in a video. What now? Correct it openly (Correcting a video or post).
I showed a password or personal data. Take the video down or cut it, change the password, tell the affected person (Privacy on camera).
A viewer reported a vulnerability in my comments. Hide the details and send them to the private channel in SECURITY.md (If you find a vulnerability).
