I’d like to believe that Google’s search engine is aware enough to be able to determine that they’ve found an RSS feed and not penalise the source for where it’s found – so I think that you should rest easy on that score.
:hattip:We also use RSS feeds for our match content, but only for titles, we don’t share any of the article content, requiring a reader to click to read the content.
slightly related, if you submit your rss feed to a bunch of rss catalogues etc, they will inevitably end up getting scraped and republished on a bunch of autogenerated sites (full of scraped but usually related content).
If you publish whole articles / content pages in your feed, I recommend modifying your RSS feed to add an absolute link back to your original article, as well as a link to the root of your domain to help maximize your potential to get inbounds from RSS.
never publish your entire article through RSS … it is a risk of duplicate content and possibly having a more authoritative site rank before you and/or you being filtered out .. even if there is a link

The risk can be mitigated somewhat by using stuff like pingomatic when you publish. Also, If your site is spidered pretty much 24/7 and/or you manage to grab the Inbound linkage before the scrapers/syndicators, the s.e. will work out you are the original source pretty well from my experience.
I’m not too familiar with using RSS feeds. Is it easy to set up a system so only part of your articles are published to the feed? I’m guessing its like having blog excerpts, right?
