This opportunity is designed for software developers, tech founders, engineering teams, and code owners worldwide who wish to explore licensing their existing software repositories. We welcome submissions from individuals and organizations that own software codebases that may no longer be actively maintained or commercially viable.
We invite owners of:
- Abandoned startups and discontinued products with substantial codebases.
- Personal and side projects that are not currently being maintained.
- Internal tools, utilities, and automation solutions developed for private business use.
- Previous SaaS products, applications, and platforms that are not actively selling.
- Any other original software repositories with clear ownership and licensing rights.
Projects do not need to be commercially successful or currently maintained to be considered.
How It Works
The process involves the following steps:
- Submit your repository for an initial assessment of its potential licensing value.
- Receive an evaluation based on the codebase and applicable acceptance criteria.
- If your repository qualifies, explore licensing opportunities.
- If a transaction is completed, get compensated according to the agreed licensing terms.
This evaluation and licensing process is designed to help code owners understand the potential value of their repositories without committing to a traditional development engagement.
Compensation
For standard non-exclusive licensing, the current reference rates are:
- $100 per 1M source-code tokens
- $40 per 1M Git-history tokens
Each repository is assessed individually, and you can review the estimated value before deciding whether to proceed.
Requirements
To participate, you should have:
- Software development experience or ownership of an existing software product, application, or repository.
- Full ownership or legal rights to license the submitted source code.
- Access to original code repositories, including discontinued products, abandoned projects, internal tools, or independently developed software.
- Code that does not include third-party material not permissible for sublicensing.
