Their setup is an elasticsearch database that they populate using undisclosed methods.
Their "backend" (smat-be) is a wrapper that just forwards requests to their elasticsearch instance. You're supposed to contact them so they provide you with connection details in the form of an .env file that you then plug into the python wrapper "backend".
Then they have a frontend that runs in vue which is a full blown web app and does most of the analysis.
For instance the social graph to visualize connections is done client side in javascript.
They get around the GPL by segmenting the data along with the collection process from the webapp part.

I think that it would cause immense butthurt if someone would use their code on a database populated scraped from shitty fedi outboxes. But it's too much work for just a little trolling.
