I see you are the founder of Coverity.

It might seem unfair, but you stated that "every customer wanted to know that". So that project has value to you.

I should be more clear: every customer using Java wanted to know how our custom developed analysis compared with what Findbugs could find.

There weren't all that many such customers though (again, historically). A more typical customer was developing in C/C++.

True for my organisation as well. Most of the code is C/C++. So it would make business reason to support the community of the open source product that does not directly compete with Coverity while using it to complement the business offer.
