Hello; This is a rather modest wish for you buildbot gurus: A while ago I asked permission to the author to use Simian (Similarity analysis) for Apache OpenOffice and the author kindly accepted.
http://www.harukizaemon.com/simian/ As always we have been busy with the Release and other stuff and we haven't really used this tool but it is known that code duplication is a problem in OpenOffice and it may be a useful option for other projects as well. If this can be made an option and there is interest we can go ahead and ask the author to let us use it for all ASF projects. best regards, Pedro. ps. Yes I am the guy asking infra@ about Coverity but that is subject for a different thread ;). -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: License request for Apache OpenOffice Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:54:15 +1100 From: Simon Harris <haruki_zae...@mac.com> To: Pedro Giffuni <p...@apache.org> Pedro, Please feel free to add Simian to your build, and also to contact me if you ever have questions.

Hello Simon; I joined the Apache OpenOffice project: the popular Office suite that was recently transferred from Oracle to the Apache Software Foundation and will be released soon under an Apache License 2. http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ Of course OpenOffice is a huge codebase and analyzing a Simian report will take a lot of time and surely more than one person. I would like to use your program in our project: first generating a report and making it available publicly and eventually, if it's acceptable to you, incorporating it in a buildbot. Thank in Advance, Pedro.
