The way your team ships and supports software
Pull requests, tickets and release history, after client code and customer data are dealt with.
Check my estimateWhy the records count
Plenty of source code is open. The story of private work is hidden: which ticket kicked off a change, which review bounced it, what got fixed after a rough release.
Those steps connect across years in your tracker, release notes and review history.
What usually counts
- Commit and repository history. Years of change across your code.
- Pull requests and reviews. What reviewers push back on.
- Tickets and incidents. The path from bug report to resolution.
- Architecture docs and release notes. Why systems are built as they are.
A common first question: whose code is this?
Work done for clients, or on systems you run for them, may be client property and may require their permission. Ownership is covered when the scope is set, and client work can stay out entirely. Your counsel should read the contracts. We do not give legal advice.
Customer details inside tickets, chat and logs are replaced with placeholders in the copy.
Things you keep back
- Client projects. Excluded unless you and your counsel choose to include them.
- Core products. Hold back any repo or period.
- Credentials. Nobody asks for them, and none are shared.
The process
You fill in the estimate form, and a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call under NDA. Then License Your Data produces a de-identified copy of your in-scope records. Buyers license the copy only after you approve a sample.
Questions from founders and owners
- Do we have to grant repo access?
- No. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy, and your originals never leave your systems.
- What should we get ready?
- None needed. Knowing which tools you run and about since when is enough, and nobody requests an export.
- Do we stay the owner?
- Yes. Your code stays yours, and buyers license only a copy.
- Is there a fee?
- You pay nothing at all.
