About the Role
This is a unique opportunity for software developers, tech founders, engineering teams, and code owners to monetize existing software repositories through a code licensing and revenue program. We encourage submissions from individuals and organizations with software that may have been abandoned, internally developed, or discontinued, regardless of its current commercial success or maintenance status.

Who Can Apply
We welcome the following submissions:
- Abandoned startups and discontinued products with substantial codebases.
- Personal projects and side projects that are no longer actively maintained.
- Internal tools, utilities, and automation solutions created for your own business.
- Previous SaaS products, applications, and platforms that are no longer commercially active.
- Other original software repositories with clear ownership and licensing rights.
How It Works
- Submit your repository for an initial assessment of its potential licensing value.
- Receive an evaluation based on the codebase and applicable acceptance criteria.
- Explore licensing opportunities if your repository qualifies.
- Get compensated according to the agreed licensing terms if a transaction is completed.
The evaluation and licensing process aids code owners in understanding the potential value of their repositories without necessitating commitment to traditional development engagements.
Compensation
For standard non-exclusive licensing, current reference rates include:
- $100 per 1M source-code tokens
- $40 per 1M Git-history tokens
Each repository is assessed individually, with an opportunity to review the estimated value prior to deciding whether to proceed.
Requirements
- 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 must not include third-party material that you are not permitted to sublicense.
