Endor Labs has launched Opengrep, a fork of Semgrep OSS in collaboration with several security companies, with a focus on keeping static code analysis accessible and open-source. CEO Varun Badhwar emphasizes the necessity of unrestricted SAST tools for software security, especially after Semgrep's recent restrictions on community contributions and core features. Opengrep seeks to fill the gap left by Semgrep's shift towards commercial licensing, promoting a future of democratized security tooling, community collaboration, and continuous innovation in software development processes.
Static code analysis is too important to be restricted... building a future where security tools evolve through collaboration rather than commercial interests.
When fundamental security capabilities become restricted, it creates a ripple effect throughout the entire software development ecosystem.
