If you could elaborate more re their worries, e.g. give a few specific 
examples, please do!  Thanks.

There are many past and present, incl multiple companies in aerospace, 
but I will only point out a few that have made their use of Condor 
public knowledge, perhaps because they gave presentations at Condor Week 
(see http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/past_condor_weeks.html), have 
posted to this public email list, etc.

A couple minutes of web browsing came up with:

Fermi National Labs, Boeing, NASA, WiPro, Micron, Embraer, Honda, 
DreamWorks Animation, CERN, Aruba, The Hartford, Fair Issac, Brookhaven 
National Labs, Bank of America, Altera
