Hello, I have 2 questions here, the first one is about the BOINC license. For example, if I setup a company to provide the BOINC grid computing service, and I will modify the BOINC source code for customization, on this condition, should I have to open the source code which I modified based on the BOINC project? I ask this question because I notice the BOINC project is under the GPL license, and according to the GPL, if I did any modifications, I have to open the source code of these modifications. Is there anyone can help me on this?
The second question is related to the computing resources. As we know, the BOINC system can distribute the tasks to multiple machines, and collect the calculation result back. This computing mechanism is good, but sometimes, I got some huge programs, everyone of them has a big calculation work and needs enormous RAM to run. And, I don't have its source code, so I cannot replace its original input / output interfaces to the BOINC's. In this situation, if BOINC only sends it to a single machine (computing node), it will cost a long time to get the result, or even doesn't work (RAM is not enough). So, the question is: is there anyway can collect the computing resource of every single machine to an virtual super computer? Thank you!
