Description

Opportunity Type: Code Licensing / Revenue Opportunity

Location: Worldwide | Remote

Who Can Apply: Software Developers, Tech Founders, Engineering Teams & Code Owners

We welcome submissions from individuals and organizations that own existing software repositories, including:

• 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• Personal projects and side projects that are no longer actively maintained.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 developed 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.

Projects do not need to be commercially successful or currently maintained to be considered.

How it works?

• Submit your repository for an initial assessment of its potential licensing value.
• Receive an evaluation based on the codebase and the 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 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, 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 move forward.

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.
