Geoff et al.,
We have had several conversations with customers about Gaussian.
Apparently some datasets don't scale with Linda, and those customers
generally either run serial or with OpenMP. I wouldn't be surprised if
the people who said here that gaussian "didn't run in parallel" have
such datasets.

If I understand correctly, some customers have source code and others
do not. So this is probably talking about the official binaries and
not what customers may have compiled themselves.
But, hey, I don't know, I've never seen the source!
