Who Can Apply
We invite applications from those who own:
- Abandoned startups and discontinued products with substantial codebases.
- Personal or side projects that are no longer actively maintained.
- Internal tools, utilities, and automation solutions developed for personal business use.
- Previous SaaS products, applications, and platforms that are no longer commercially active.
- Other original software repositories where clear ownership and licensing rights exist.
Projects do not need to be commercially successful or currently maintained to be eligible for consideration.
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 is structured to help code owners understand the potential value of their repositories without the need for 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, allowing you to review the estimated value before 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.
