That's a rather simplistic view, and not quite true: UCSD isn't a State
University. Open Records laws apparently do not apply to software
developed by the University. It's complicated, but the copyright in
the code clearly belongs to the Regents of the University of California,
and while I can apply for permission from our Technology Transfer Office
to freely distribute what I exclusively have written, the ownership of
the code it was derived from probably makes that moot. And to answer
the question before it is asked, no, it wasn't funded by a Federal
grant either.

Thus Open Records laws apply to any and all code you develop while
working for UCSD.
