Hey guys, thank you for the time you took to read the article.

Yes, we contacted you presenting our offer. Our idea was to have some kind of advertisement for us
in exchange for a free key of our tool. It's sad that we couldn't reach a concord. We
think that we should have a two-side cooperation.

If it's not possible to provide a chance for any mentioning of our company tool on your
web-site, then there is probaby no interest for us to provide you with a free license.

If it's not possible to provide a chance for any mentioning our company tool on your web-site,
then there is probaby no interest for us to provide you with a free license. That would be a little
strange if we gave you something and got nothing in return, right?

@vasiliev, thanks, but that unlikely to happen. There was earlier some contact request from someone
from viva64.com on the mailing list, offering some licenses in exchange for ads. It's unlikely
some ads to be put on php.net, so no reason to contact the sales people. And it is kinda
disappointing to see it's just a part of some product promoting story now :( 

A free license would faciliate continuous integration, a promotion story faciliates only your
product. I slowly start to think that we should not support PVS-Studio in the build system, as no
one can use it ATM as no one has a license :( Once I used it for PHP, it was an excellent
experience. There was false positives, but also good catches.

The issues from the arcticle are now addressed in the latest commits by Dmitry, so closing this
ticket.

Thanks.

@vasiliev, would the PVS-Studio be so kind giving some free licenses to the PHP project?

Thanks.

Please don't report bugs using thinly veiled advertising.
