Pending an answer from the lab. . I found this on their website:

"The Rosetta codes are available to academics free of charge under a non-exclusive license while industry may obtain Rosetta through a non-exclusive license. Please contact Digital Ventures to request more information."

http://depts.washington.edu/ventures/Portfolio_Highlights/Rosetta.php

Since this project seems to be working to improve the Rosetta program, I would guess it is available to other institutions.

I just got word from David Baker and he says, "yes, everything will be publicly available--please assure him on that!" So I assure you, the results will be publicly available. :) We also have a structure prediction server, Robetta, that uses Rosetta and is available for free to academic users. We hope to integrate this project with Robetta -- there is currently a long wait period for results because of limited computing resources.

That's no assurance at all.

I thought about joining Rosetta@home as second project in addition to CPDN.

But protein structures are patentable things (especially in the USofA) whreas climate models are not (at least in the EU).

So, if the work is publicly available afterwards - why not stating so on the main page to attract more users?

By not doing this, the whole thing just leaves a bad taste (in German: schaler Beigeschmack, meaning you don't know if s.th. actually is what it claims to be).

Cheers
