Software data licensing for AI.

Quick answer

Software companies hold code repositories, code reviews, issue histories, technical documentation and support tickets. Coding-model and agent developers value real engineering workflows. Open-source licenses, customer data processing agreements and embedded secrets must be checked.

Business context#

Public code is widely used for training; private codebases with review history and linked issues show how professional teams actually build and fix software.
