| code for open-source contributions.

|
| Palamida won't disclose the size of its customer base, but Black Duck
| has attracted 200 customers plus investments from Intel Capital, Red
| Hat and SAP Ventures. Levin said demand is particularly strong for
| Black Duck's SMB-focused hosted service, which enables developers to
| essentially rent Black Duck's platform and check their code over the
