Your English professor would have to ask your permission before publishing your paper, and your CS professor is no exception to that. The only time when the product is actually the school's, is when you sign a contract with the school signing over the rights (usually for a research grant). i.e. You only lose your property/intellectual rights when you sign a piece of legal document that says you want to do so. Forcing you to license something in a certain way, is grounds for serious lawsuits in intellectual property. In a sense, he has literally robbed you of your intellectual property rights. American law protects "property rights" to the utmost. Heck, they had an Amendment to the Constitution for that. You may wish to inform the professor of his illegal activities by an anonymous media. Ask your school's free law service. Most schools provide a free legal consulting service via their law schools' faculty and students. I am very, very certain they will give you that answer. (Because I had asked before.) Remember, you cannot fight a professor while taking his/her course. Even if you are not taking his course, protect yourself by checking all of the legal and school rules on such things. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
