At my school at least the school owned all copyrights on all work done for class[0]. This is pretty standard from what I've gathered. OTOH, in either case the professor has not basis for his copyright stance since either the school owns it and no mere professor can dictate licensing without the school's legal counsel or the student owns it and can simply void the whole GPL thing by reissuing it under a BSD license since only a complete zelot would use code under the GPL when it's also available under a BSD license. -- Brooks [0] With of course, the obvious exception of work done under contract. -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
