Makes me wonder, is there a tool like grammarly [1] for source code? One that checks for large chunks of copied code from other open source projects?

I interned at a company called Palamida that did this around 2006. They were eventually acquired by Flexera. One of their competitors was Black Duck Software which was acquired by Synopsys.
