That file is why nobody will pay you for this repo.
Permissive, public, already scraped. The code that holds licensing value is the code you never published. Most developers have both and have only ever thought about the first.
The short version
AI labs need real production code to train coding models. Not synthetic examples, not tutorials. Code with commit history, bugs, refactors, and the ugly parts left in. They cannot scrape it, because the code worth having was never public.
So they license it. Non-exclusively, which means you keep your code and can license it again. The awkward part is that almost nobody thinks of a dead client project as an asset, so it sits in a private repository doing nothing for the rest of its life.

You have repos you will never open again.
Private, finished, owned by you, and doing nothing.
Labs license them non-exclusively. You keep the code and can license it again.
Takes a few minutes to find out whether yours qualify.
