Turn idle code into recurring revenue
AI labs pay to license real source code and the git history behind it. Licenses are non-exclusive, so you are paid every time your code is licensed. You keep ownership. Nothing upfront.

Yes, you can sell your code and keep it. You sell a license, you keep the code, and you get paid again when it is licensed again. The buyers are AI labs that train coding models on real source and git history. A typical repo earns $1,000 to $1,500 per license.
Real production code is the one input labs cannot generate synthetically. They pay for the real thing.
Labs are licensing real-world codebases to train and evaluate coding models, and the appetite is growing.
Commits, fixes and the way a codebase matured carry signal. You are paid for git history as well as the final source.
What matters is that the code is real and that you hold the rights.
Shelved products, dead startups, internal tools, R&D and side projects all qualify.Value per license is source tokens at $100 per million plus history tokens at $40 per million. Lot 014: 0.6M × $100 + 23.5M × $40 ≈ $1,000.

Owners in the licensing program earned $6M in the last 60 days, across 11,069 licensed repos.
One company licensed 326 repos through the program and earned $300,000 in the same 60 days. Most of its value came from history.
Published program figures, shown as illustrative, conservative. What your repos earn depends on analysis of the code and on buyer demand.
Free to join. No public listing. A real estimate in minutes once Git is connected.
Code you stopped working on can earn again. It is already written, with nothing to build, fix or clean up.
Licenses are non-exclusive. Each one that closes pays you, and the same repo can be licensed again.
Pick the repos. Withdraw any time. Access is read-only, and your repository is never touched.
And it is yours, which is exactly what makes it licensable. You decide what is shared: only the repos you choose, only code you hold the rights to. Secrets, customer data and third-party code stay out. Within the repos you submit, secrets and personal data are stripped from the review copy before anything reaches a buyer.
Once you request access and connect your repos, you get a real per-repo estimate straight away, with no obligation to license anything.
≈ $1,000 to $1,500 per repo, recurring, paid on every re-license.

Read the agreement and sign once. Give read-only access to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and pick only the repos you want to license. Submit them as they are.
Your code is scrubbed and graded on the review copy, then taken to buyers in batches. Each time a license closes and the buyer pays, you are paid within 15 days.
Yes. You grant a non-exclusive license and keep ownership. You can keep using, changing and shipping it.
Yes, internally and in your own products. The license does not change that.
No. The same repo can be licensed more than once, and you are paid each time. How often depends on demand.
Yes. Only submit code you hold the rights to. Client work usually belongs to the client unless your contract says otherwise.
