Oops, not sure how I misread that, it's pretty clear! This unfortunately seems to reduce these projects in usefulness to pretty much awesome and interesting research - completely unusable in any business though. I don't see how any business can be expected to make all employees keep to these conditions - way too fragile and easy for an employee to screw the company.
