From this moment PVS-Studio is free of charge for opensource projects

[Tim Crawford]

As part of using it for "free", it requires adding a comment to the top of
every file asking PVS to check the code. It is a completely unappealing
clause. I don't see why anyone would consider this PVS offer over Coverity
Scan for code analysis.

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 :-)

Better download a copy before they change their mind. [😃]
