It's all about your contractual obligations (Score 1)

Hi, The answer lies in the agreements you have already and may sign up to in the future as there is no criminal law governing the ownership of software - save to say that using it without a licence to do so is illegal. Check the contract you have with the university and see if there are any clauses around "produced works" etc. If there is no specific reference to the ownerhip of works produced during your time at the university then be open and honest and find out if there is a policy. If there is a policy, request to have it put into the contract. Hope this helps.
