They can, they have, and they will do it again. Every once and while we get one like this. Some guy even Bittorented a file, that was laced with Folding, and installed it on 1000s of machines

I wonder how Stanford would have felt if he'd have included it in the EULA kinda like how Y! Toolbar gets bundled with damn near everything but its installation is made known (by burying it in the EULA) and is (usually) optional...bad idea either way but it's kinda a case of hero or villain, he was doing something for a great cause but was also trespassing (in a way) by not forming an agreement saying it was OK to install. Damn these modern day Robin Hoods :axe:

Yahoo gets permission, usually Yahoo gives money to those who bundle it with there software. F@H was not sure if it still is bundled with google toolbar

Oh, ok. It would be dumb for Stanford to cut the team, as folding is for everyone.
