I like these guys, and I like their
strong approach (it's just like ReactOS, they never give up),
however that thing about adding a comment to every file is really
hilarious.
I would say that just opening it for opensource project without
any strings attached would definitely bring them publicity because
FOSS projects will share the news (fixed blah-blah thanks for PVS
Studio), but that brings a question that they already analyzed
some very popular FOSS projects, and they already shared their bit
of publicity.
Besides that, I do wish all the best to PVS Studio, and from how
it goes, the moment when they remove the code comments requirement
is not that far :-)

As part of using it for "free", it requires adding a

It is a completely unappealing clause. I don't see why anyone
would consider this PVS offer over Coverity Scan for code
analysis.
