FIVE REASONS TO CARE ABOUT OPENGREP

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Opengrep was announced as a forever open source fork after Semgrep changed its licensing structure. James Berthoty highlights the importance of an open source SAST for establishing a comparison baseline for commercial SASTs, for the development of an industry standard for abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and the ability for community rules to unify open source scanners. Opengrep will gradually implement some of the Semgrep pro features.
