How your team builds and supports software

Release history, tickets and pull requests. Client code and customer data get handled first.

Why the records count

Lots of code is public. The context around private work is not: the ticket that started a change, the review comment that sent it back and the fix after a rough release.

Over the years, your release notes, tracker and reviews link those steps into one record.

What typically 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. What explains the shape of your systems.

The worry owners raise first: code that is not ours

If you build for clients or run their systems, much of that work may belong to them and may need their permission. Scoping covers ownership, and client work can be left out completely. Your counsel should read the contracts. Legal advice is not something we offer.

Customer details inside tickets, chat and logs are replaced with placeholders in the copy.

What you may exclude

  • Client projects. Left out by default, unless you and your counsel say otherwise.
  • Core products. Hold back any repo or period.
  • Credentials. Never asked for, never passed on.

After the form

Submit the estimate form and a License Your Data specialist calls within minutes to schedule a 15-minute call under NDA. The records you scope in become a de-identified copy, prepared by License Your Data. You approve a sample, and only after that do buyers license the copy.

Owner FAQ

What do we pay?
Nothing. There is no cost to you.
Do we need to prep anything?
No. It is enough to know which tools your team uses and roughly since when. Nobody asks you to export anything.
Do we have to grant repo access?
No. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy, and your originals never leave your systems.
Do we keep ownership?
Yes. Buyers license a copy, not your code.
