EDIT:
Let me clarify things and specify my concerns:
I wrote a program for my thesis that solved a problem for the target establishment.
The establishment now uses the program with my consent but nothing was signed and everything was verbal.
I applied for a job and that company now wants to see my program source code because it's relevant to the job I'm applying for.
My advisor is directly tied to the establishment using my program. I have notified him and we have scheduled to meet up and talk about it in a few days.
My concerns: ( just want to get more info before my talk with my advisor )
Is my program source code still my own? Have I accidentally given up my right to share it? Can my advisor and the establishment prevent me from sharing my source code to the company I'm applying for?
The source code is also included in the published thesis I submitted, doesn't that make it open source in a sense? Does that mean neither me or my advisor/establishment can claim ownership or anything of the code?
Are things different because my thesis is applied to an actual situation as opposed to a theoretical situation? Like there is a period the thesis isn't made public (open source) like a grace period before it's open to the public?
