There is a free linting service for Open Source code available at 
http://scan.coverity.com/ .

This is an online service that scans your source and provides reports. The 
criteria for admittance are:

-----

Can I get my project into the Scan?

The following definitions are Coverity's guideline for including projects in 
the Scan.

Project licenses must meet the criteria described by the Open Source 
Initiative. http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php
Projects initiated and maintained by registered nonprofit organizations (any 
nationality), individuals, or groups with no associated corporation are 
automatically eligible.

Projects initiated and maintained by for-profit corporations, or with licenses 
outside the OSI guidelines, or with licenses within the OSI guidelines, but 
which are conditional to different audiences, are included at Coverity's 
discretion.

-----

Who can have access?

Access to the detailed analysis results is permitted only to members of scanned 
projects, partially in order to ensure that potential security issues may be 
resolved before the general public sees them.

Our approach is that of Responsible Disclosure. We provide the analysis results 
to project developers only, and do not reveal details to the public until an 
issue has been fixed. A portion of the defects discovered by the Scan could 
reveal exploitable security vulnerabilities. 

-----

If you are a member of an open source project, and your project is not already 
listed, read the Developer FAQ http://scan.coverity.com/devfaq.html , then 
please email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking at this page: http://scan.coverity.com/rungAll.html I notice that 
OpenSolaris is not listed.

Could some people at Sun kick this idea around and decide if we want a free 
lint ?

Thanks,
Rob
