> What if you could just licence the code to Anthropic, OpenAI or any other AI lab and make passive income every time its sold.
If you want a fancy licence to all my old code to use for whatever, we can talk, but fat lot of good some 15 year old ObjC and Java will do you for finding the other side of a sale. My total revenue for the stock photos I tried licensing back when it was the early days of pro-am photography and we all thought there might be some passive income opportunities for stuff like this, was exactly zero.
According to recent legal cases, the current status seems to be there's no problem training on something so long as you had legal access to that material in the first place, so nobody would want to pay for this. But even if those rules change and they need to licence my code (and other text) to train on it, a lot of LLM's abilities come not from code but from understanding what language means, so the mean human's contribution to these models is necessarily parts per multi-billion, and that includes if we get paid for all the stuff we do while at work and not just on our own time; therefore, even if I got 100% of the revenue, my lifetime's code output might be worth perhaps $50/year even if you train on all the code from all the companies I no longer work for.
Are you talking about selling source code? Some people like that and some people could buy it on physical media.
A year ago I bought a 14 dot something FreeBSD installation DVD for i386 and x86_64 that also came with a source code DVD for many packages (which I lost unfortunately) from the FreeBSDMall website which has been down for a while so I couldn't order a replacement.
There are two modes - One of payment for the licence which is usually 10x the multi-licence deal, or its paid once and than every time another company licences it.
I think the competition is now for the dev insights, way of work, human touch and trying to teach the agents how to replicate it, and they pay 100 USD per 1m token of code
Are you the owner of pangea.ai?
It is possible to post your own stuff here but people is more friendly if the owner/developer/whatever is avaliable to answer questions.
Is the code anonimized? Tested for password leaks?
Ive been a friend with the owners before it was even Pangea.ai, Ill just send a link to this discussion to the owners and they can answer all questions.

I mean you can give it a try. 100 USD per 1m token of code or 40 USD per 1m token git history.
Nothing to lose.
