Something to buy...

If I were a prosperous software vendor facing FOSS community as a competitor to tackle out, I would buy Coverity, get my stuff fixed, feed the public with reports serving the purpose and, am I bad enough, feeding some crackers with first line knowledge to get showcases. Battle is over on security front.
No! That would be way too easy to figure out and transparent for an anti-competitive measure.
Whatever the above motives were, I think there is now certain lack of free tools to produce equivalent first line knowledge by code auditing.
