body: I have worked for some university. I got a grant from the government for a project. The department and the government specifically wrote a contract that I have an intellectual property (including the copyright.) Then the department took down the server and took the code while I was at a conference without any prior notice. (A member of faculty abruptly cancelled the conference and was on the notice.) Is it a copyright violation?
