Coverity has published the 2008 edition of its Open Source Report. The report uses static code analysis on C, C++, and Java source code to determine the quality of the code. These reports are funded by the US Department of Homeland Security and supported by Stanford University, and are part of the US government's Open Source Hardening Project. The report is based on over two years' worth of data from Coverity Scan.

How does this tool differ from good old Lint that's available for C/C++?
From the little details I can gain from that website, it appears to be little more than a Lint-like tool. If that is the case, I do not see the point as there are hundreds of such programs around. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis for a list.
