Black Duck Takes Control of Koders
Black Duck Software, a provider of products and services for accelerating software development through the managed used of open source and third-party code, has purchased the assets of Koders, maker of a code search engine and other tools, for an undisclosed sum.
According to Black Duck, more than 30,000 developers visit Koders.com each day to tap some 766 million lines of open-source code written in more than 30 languages and associated with 28 software licenses. “The combination of Koders software code search engine with Black Duck’s Code Center and protexIP products will allow us to uniquely meet developer needs,” said Douglas Levin, President and CEO of Black Duck Software.
Black Duck intends to enhance the Koders search database with code and metadata from the Black Duck KnowledgeBase. This complete database of open source and third-party code contains more than 520 million code files, representing many billions of lines of code. Black Duck's customers will see no additional charge for the search capability gained by the Koders acquisition. "This is almost like part of the upgrade cycle," said Levin.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
