The big question for me here is what is their measurement device exactly? They have some kind of code scanner, which I guess is a static analysis tool. How would such a thing work conclusively? How much more sophisticated is their analysis than find /usr/src -name \*.c | xargs lint | wc -l?

You can't really tell from reading the article.

Nevertheless, I like that this conclusion is thrown out there with all the other half baked conclusions. If more pointy haired bosses want Open Source software now, so much the better. Now if we could only convince them not to make us sign employment contracts that sign over the sum products of our brains to the company (excuse the possibly U.S. centric business methods reference) so we could attempt to give something back without causing legal havoc.
