The license explicitly prohibits this kinds of behavior, though of course there's no way for them to tell. If someone really wanted to use it, a trial license does not have this kind of restriction though it only lasts for a week IIRC. I think it's clear that we're not going to be using pvs-studio which is a bit of a shame since it does catch real bugs. The way Coverity deals with open source projects is easier for us to deal with. - todd
