Do I need to agree to register the application?

Question

Android

In my last year of university, I wrote an application for a diploma for Android ( goo.gl/SiSpI2).
So far, the application has been published only in OperaStore, YandexStore, w3bsit3-dns.com and other free resources.
After the defense, it was proposed to register the software.
It was said that the registration is made at the expense of the institute and the rights to the software will be owned by the institute, on the basis of the application a certificate is issued, which I can use as a software developer on various platforms. The certificate will indicate that the application has been developed, the authors: me and the head of the diploma.
Tell me if it makes sense to arrange all this and how it can come in handy?

Answer 1

The complexity of unambiguous answers to the questions posed above is explained by the fact that several subjects are involved in the considered copyright relations: the author (student), supervisor (teacher), university (educational institution). It would seem that official legal relations are on the face, when the university (represented by the supervisor) gives the task to perform a certain author's work. However, it is not.
As the authors of the "Copyright" manual note, these objects (term papers and theses - T.G.) are not official, the copyright for them arises from their creators - students, the use of these works is possible only with their consent, the supervisor on general rule is not a co-author of such works

The author of the term paper/thesis is you personally (you can check the title page of your thesis - the author should be indicated there). The author of the software developed within the framework of this work is also you (unless, of course, the supervisor was directly involved in the development).
This offer is an attempt to deceive you and obtain all rights (including copyrights) to your software.
If in doubt, I recommend contacting the legal advice of your city (just choose a specialist who understands copyright).

Answer 2

Something tells me that you have already signed a similar document in undergraduate practice and this is, like, a standard procedure and the university is already legally protected in case of any litigation, so the MIT license and registration at the expense of the university, at the same time you will see how it is is done, it seems like also good knowledge for future corporate projects
