Not so, according to Berkeley; the SETI@home open-source software is 
under GPL--see the notices that came with the S@h app in your projects 
folder. You can't _distribute_ it without the source (or a link 
thereto), but if you obtained it legitimately there's no law or contract 
to stop you _using_ it. And no-one modifying such open-source code has 
the right to impose additional conditions on the licence.

BUT according to the discussion, Crunch3r modified it using a program
he had to purchase. The product of that program is now under its
license, not Berkeleys open source anymore.
