Oh gosh, AUTOSAR... shudder

The MISRA analysis seems neat -- It's GPLv3 from what the LICENSE suggests, does that cause problems when being used to scan proprietary code?

No. Using GPL software has nothing to do with the code processed by it. Think about the GCC compiler :)

Totally fair :) I'm going to have a play with it at work!

Awesome! If there is any problem just post it in GitHub issues. We will also be releasing 2023.4 very soon.

I think just using it locally in manual or ad-hoc senses is fine, but IIRC it can become tricky or at least a legal grey area if you commit code that automates using GPL developer tooling and/or pulls it into your development toolchain, e.g. via GitHub action or some other CI automation.

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice.
