If I belong to a VO and I run code that has nothing to do with that VO
whatsoever or whose goal has nothing to do with the VO goals whatsoever
I would say that's abuse of resources. The interpretation should be as
simple as that.
The question that is more difficult to answer is how do I know that the
user is not running something outside this boundaries. What if Heinz had
been adapting algorithms to breaking proteins rather than factorizing
numbers? What if I'm fed up with the VO framework and write my own code
to do the same job? We have no way to do that but asking the user if
what he is doing is legitimate, which again implies trusting his answer,
or going through each user code.
cheers

PS In support of GGUS Heinz was involved in your ticket and the VO
manager stated that Heinz had been contacted in Pete ticket. Only ticket
without a reply was Graeme.
