I just glanced at the rules. I didn't see anything about disclosing outside of Netflix, but you do have to license winning algorithms to them. The license appears to grant them the right to make & sell products based on the algorithm.

Just happened pon this board. I quickly looked through this thread and didn't see this idea mentioned. I've worked ACIS who's kernal make AutoCAD what it is. When you want to use their code they provide the object files for you to link into your code. It preserves their secrets but allows you to make use of the functionality. You could try something like that... I have an encryption scheme that could further hide functionality, even during execution. [e-mail] if I can help.
