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. - Brian

Except that you work for a State University supported by tax payers. Thus Open Records laws apply to any and all code you develop while working for UCSD.
