My coworkers are in need of a LOT of CPU time for modeling microscopic interactions of particles in order to better understand the material from which they came. (They currently have a nice big rackmount array for doing this, but their horribly simplified codes take about a month to run.) They're afraid, however, of their code being released. In science research, people have been known to submit papers about work that they stole from other people, and they're afraid it'll happen to them.

It it possible for someone in science research to protect their code and still have it distributed? Would they benefit from having the code run on machines that only their friends own?

The problem is time-dependent. Each solution requires the result from the last. Is it likely they benefit from PC-based DC in such a sitution anyway?
 
I'm not sure about protecting the code, but the Leiden Classical project lets users upload their work and the work then gets processed by the users doin the project. Not sure if this helps at all..
