If your implementation is 100% open source, then you don't have to worry
about licensing as OWASP (http://www.owasp.org) will scan at no cost...

Yeah. Fortify is nice. I do not know what would be the licensing terms
now, but before, it used to have a "traveling" kind of license that
allowed consultants to do the evaluation for the projects of their
customers. It might be worthwhile for somebody like OIDF to buy a
license and run a certification program out of it. Of course, having
secure profile, which we do not have yet, is a prerequisite though.
