Others may come to different conclusions. I use www.google.com on a regular basis even though I can't download it.
That is not even a good analogy.
We're comparing closed Coverty-as-a-service with closed Google-as-a-service. Seems like a good analogy to me. I'm failing to see the moral difference between using Google SaaS to look to see if anybody else has reported a particular kernel error and using Coverty SaaS to examine kernel code. As you yourself said:
If everyone depended on this Software as a Service then you would have a nice walled garden to the Kernel Code.
Why do you object to Coverty when Google is almost certainly more depended on by kernel developers?
