## About the Role

* 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.

## Description

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 * Personal projects and side projects that are no longer actively maintained.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.
