[Box Backup-dev] Scanning source code, was Merges

[E.W. Peter Jalajas]

Phew, thanks for the reminder, Ben!

Sourceforge didn't seem to have anything. 

I'll start here:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5673
which mentions Flawfinder, RATS and ITS4 (and lint and pscan), and then
I'll follow the link from there to the Open Source Quality Project,
http://osq.cs.berkeley.edu/  

(ITS4 seems to have a funky license, with commercial restrictions under
which I'm not sure if I would fall or not.)

Thanks again,
Pete
