RemoteRemoteOTHR$100/hrFull-time

About the role

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abandoned startups and discontinued products with substantial codebases; personal projects and side projects that are no longer actively maintained; internal tools, utilities, and automation solutions developed for your own business; previous SaaS products, applications, and platforms that are no longer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.

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

Pay

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.
