I really hope that this email doesn't generate a ton of offline emails and hope that folks will talk publicly. It has been my latest thinking that the value of tools in this space are not really targeted at developers but should be targeted at executives who care about overall quality and security folks who care about risk. While developers are the ones to remediate, the accountability for secure coding resides elsewhere. It would seem to be that tools that developers plug into their IDE should be free since the value proposition should reside elsewhere. Many of these tools provide "audit" functionality and allow enterprises to gain a view into their portfolio that they previously had zero clue about and this is where the value should reside. If there is even an iota of agreement, wouldn't it be in the best interest of folks here to get vendors to ignore developer specific licensing and instead focus on enterprise concerns? ************************************************************************* This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
