The ongoing deposits are the main issue which we automate for the client. Imagine doing what you describe for 50 repo's.

That would make you unhappy quickly. Also the lawyer would not do this for free.

I guess it's a matter of finding the right balance between cost and convenience.

You are right it's exactly the combination of ongoing snapshots and the need to only provide access when there's a verified release event. We try to provide that balance.

We also do verification, but that's mainly when there is 'less than optimal' trust between the developer and the licensee.

You describe exactly one of the scenarios why Codekeeper was made; the situation where a CD in a vault is enough, doesn't work anymore for many web apps under continuous development.

Source code escrow has to be an ongoing process too, which is also why it's differently priced than it was before.

We created Codekeeper so you can now easily comply with escrow requirements from your enterprise and government clients, and more importantly, to help you close deals with those clients quicker.

Being developers ourselves it’s designed to keep your life easy and works in pair with Github, Bitbucket and the other SCM platforms.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions to make it fit even better inside your development or software business.

Cheers!

For teams where you have non-coding interaction designers and backend designers AND separate marketing teams this could be an awesome accelerator simply because everyone uses the same tool (Bootstrap) but interacts with it in different ways. That's awesome.
