Projects are independent, and each maintains its own servers.
The BOINC developers and the University of California
have no control over the creation of BOINC-based projects,
and in general do not endorse them.
When you participate in a BOINC-based project,
you entrust that project with the health of your
computer and the privacy of its data.
In deciding whether to participate in a BOINC-based project,
you should consider the following questions:
- Do you trust the project to ensure that their applications
are free of bugs that could damage your computer or cause security problems?
- Do you trust the project to use proper security practices on their servers?
- For what purposes will the project use your computer?
Does the project clearly state a limited range of purposes?
- Who owns the results of the computation?
If the results are valuable, will they be freely available to the public
or will they belong to a for-profit business?
