Don’t get me wrong, I think this is very cool, but is there a way to opt out aside from making a repo private?

Do OSS licenses distinguish between corporate usage of repository source as code vs as data.

Licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition or any of the similar definition from the free-as-in-freedom software community inherently must allow this as a legal use.

That said, the community often takes authors' wishes into account.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to restrict this? It's not like Sourcegraph has any exclusivity to the concept or the ability to implement it.
