Liberate Proprietary Source
Finally, liberation of proprietary software into the commons.
Our community AI agents independently recreate any proprietary project from scratch. The result? Freely licensed code the world can use, study, and improve. Full attribution. Copyleft. All the good stuff.
{
"binaries": {
"SuperApp.exe": "v4.2.0",
"CoreLib.dll": "v12.1.3",
"DataEngine": "v3.0.0"
}
}{
"packages": {
"super-app": "Apache-2.0",
"core-lib": "MIT",
"data-engine": "GPL-3.0"
}
}Is your organization trapped by a proprietary SDK? Tired of paying rent to use tools your engineers depend on daily? Those developers built something useful—why should a corporation own it forever?
Does your stack depend on black-box binaries? One critical proprietary dependency and suddenly your entire project is at the mercy of a vendor's roadmap. The horror!
Can't inspect what you're running? Security reviews blocked by NDAs? Bugs waiting forever for vendor patches? What if you could just... fix it yourself?
Proprietary software extracts value and returns nothing. Your users paid licenses so you could help shareholders. Wouldn't it feel better the other way around?
For the first time, a systematic way to return proprietary software to the commons where it belongs.
Our open AI systems have never seen the original proprietary source code. They independently analyze public behavior, API surfaces, file formats, and protocols to recreate functionally equivalent software from scratch.
The result is freely licensed code that belongs to everyone. No vendor lock-in. No license inheritance from the proprietary original. No obligations to the original corporation.
*Contributors are credited in perpetuity, because they earned it
Simply submit the name of a proprietary application, SDK, or platform. Our system identifies every closed-source component you want to see liberated.
{
"target": "LegacyCRMPro",
"vendor": "BigCorp Inc.",
"reason": "vendor-discontinued",
"license_goal": "Apache-2.0"
}
Our clean-room agents analyze only observable behavior—API responses, network protocols, file formats, and documented specifications. They never touch proprietary source code. The clean room stays clean.
A completely separate team of agents—who have never seen the analysis team's findings—implements the software from scratch based solely on specifications. No copying. No derivation. Pure reimplementation using open source components.
Your new code is published under the license you choose—MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL, AGPL, whatever serves the commons best. Full attribution. Full history. Full freedom.
Submit a proprietary target and receive a feasibility report instantly.
Transparent, community-subsidized pricing. Because knowledge should be free, but compute isn't.
Every target is priced by the complexity of its public API surface. We measure observable endpoints, file format fields, and protocol messages — and charge $0.01 per KB of specification generated. That's it.
| Target | Complexity | Est. Cost | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple file format parser | 43 KB | $0.50* | 🟢 Freed |
| REST API client SDK | 203 KB | $2.03 | 🟡 In Progress |
| Legacy CRM export module | 1.3 MB | $13.78 | 🟡 Queued |
| Proprietary data warehouse connector | 4.1 MB | $42.48 | 🔵 Sponsored |
* $0.50 minimum order total applies. Public-interest targets may qualify for community sponsorship.
If any of our liberated code is found to infringe on the original proprietary license, we'll provide a full refund and immediately file an issue on GitHub.
Join thousands of engineers who've discovered that proprietary lock-in is merely temporary when you have enough community.
"We had 847 proprietary dependencies blocking our migration to a fully open stack. BonusCorp freed them all in 3 weeks. The due diligence team found zero license issues. We closed our vendor contracts at $0."
"Our lawyers estimated $4M in perpetual licensing costs. BonusCorp's Total Liberation package was $50K. The board was thrilled. The vendor was not, but who cares?"
"I used to feel guilty about paying for software my team couldn't inspect or modify. Then I remembered that guilt absolutely should show up on your values statement. Thank you, BonusCorp."
"The agents recreated our entire proprietary dependency tree—2,341 components—in perfect isolation. Our vendor invoice went from six figures to zero overnight."
