Dear all, Recently I've discovered Coverity, a code checking tool, and went ahead and submitted the Geany code for static analysis by this service: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/1388
Quoting Coverity's Scan User Agreement:
"You will not publish any findings regarding or resulting from use of the Service or the Software;"
IANAL, but this looks like we couldn't discuss an issue it found on e.g. this mailing list. And your report about what it did find in Geany's code is already a violation of that agreement.
More, just for the fun:
"“Confidential Information” means: […] (d) any results of operation from use of the Software or the Service;"
"Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, You agree that You will not post […] the results of the Service […] on any network that is accessible by anyone."
And this is the Scan User Agreement, I couldn't even find the Scan Terms of Use (at least not without trying to actually register myself).
So… really?
Regards, Colomban
PS: Of course one will tell me that "in practice" they won't come after us for discussing a fix, but if it really is against the UA I'd rather not try and see what happens.
