Sourceforge-like approach to semi-FOSS-friendly software

Parent article: Some notes from the Coverity survey

An intermediate approach would be to have Coverity provide a free service where one uploads code to their web site, and they run the bug checker on it, with two caveats:
* The user agrees the code is under one of n free software licenses
* Coverity posts the code on the web site for some period of time

This would prevent commercial use, while permitting free software use.
