Does a source code belong to a organization who is developing it?
It depends on whether the organization is developing it for
commercial use or it has been contracted to develop the software.
If the organization is developing it inhouse, then it owns all the
right to the source code. If the organisation has been contracted
to develop the software, then it would depend on the contract
agreement between the organisation and the contracting firm or
organisation. Therefore if the contract does not specifically
mention that the contracting firm has exculsive right to the
software then all rights remain with the developing organisation.
