When I asked the Coverity guys at OSCON last week, they said that it probably
wouldn't be free for us, since they're in the business of selling this service,
and generally won't be offering free service to projects that are mainly driven
by a single company which they make money off of, and should thus be able to
afford a commercial license.
(Of course, we benefit from all the free scans they do of the many open source
projects we include - I know we found a major Xorg security hole through
Coverity that they still use as an example in their talks.)
I'd love to see us find some way to get Coverity scans of OpenSolaris code,
but I think Sun's going to have to put money in for that.
