George,

Will EFF give the money to GIMPS (e.g., you) and then you divide it?  Or
will EFF divide it up according to the GIMPS rules?  Or is this to be
decided once the requirements for the prize are completed (namely
publication)?  Or unknown?

Poor M37156667.  Hard to make the rules cover everything!

I'd like to, but the award rules seem pretty clear that M37156667 does
not qualify.
I'm sure it will be a topic of discussion when we write new rules for
the next EFF award.
