This is interesting... A college sysadmin is fired for installing the
distributed computing program from Distributed.net.

"Although state officials have not yet charged McOwen with anything, they are
investigating him for allegedly violating an agreement he signed saying he
would not download unauthorized software onto school machines, use government
property without permission, or do so for profit. What's more, according to
McOwen, they've threatened to seat a grand jury and seek an indictment
sometime in the coming weeks."
