Yeah, which sucks. People would be more interested if they'd at least provide the xml exports from their tools.

Not to mention licensing in a way that makes people able to afford and/or use the software for open source and free software - part of their analyzer uses clang, the least they could do is actually contribute toward that project and the ones that they "analyze."

It seems like every time they do this for promotion they just claim everything as a "bug" without really individually investigating and reporting all of them, taking only some obviously wrong ones and then lumping the whole report onto the project's bug tracker, if we're lucky.

PVS Studio is a great application but since they only do team licensing "1-9 developers" I can't see the benefit in buying it, just like IDA Pro. I'm an open source only dev in the C/C++/C# world, all my profitable work is in other languages...

I'd gladly pay a REASONABLE price for all these tools if they'd not only provide proper Linux versions (PVS studio only ever had an internal Linux version...in projects with Linux and Windows specific code it is difficult if not impossible to analyze the Linux parts) but so far since it seems like the real benefit to open source teams who can't afford this software (that is windows only anyway, mostly) is extremely low despite it's utility otherwise.

They have a lot of drama between them, but pfsense still seems superior, especially since as I understand it, the current 2.3 beta is a mostly unpatched FreeBSD, I hear they only have patches on some of the vendor specific drivers....which reminds me I need to file a bug about a crappy broadcom ethernet chip.
