"posting the source code in a way that would allow people to reverse engineer
the code to produce bogus scientific results would make the whole project

Have these people not heard of BitCoin? There are definitely ways to verify
the results coming into their system and if they're not using them, they're a
bit naive. Not publishing the source code under a free license doesn't do a
single thing to prevent Bad Actors from reverse engineering their software
and feeding them bogus results. Class security-by-obscurity.
