Why? Are you afraid of confusion with Linux the washing powder?
No (that's actually the cobfusion I don't fear).
Just to clarify -- I am aware (and have been since it's inception) of
Coverity's previous work on the subject. I was one of the guys at
Stanford who started pushing Linux through the technology years and
years ago :) However, the "new process" piece is the fact that now we
have the infrastructure in place to provide the results of the daily
scans that we are performing of the kernel and other open source
projects back to the developers and core maintainers of those projects.
Sorry about any confusion caused by my terminology with "Linux". I
admit, form email and should have been "Linux kernel"...
