MRW when a professor asks me to take down a program I wrote 3 years go so that they can publish it themselves

Out of the blue, a former professor of mine emails me, requesting that I take down a program I wrote for their class 3 years ago. Apparently their new student has made a working version, and they want to publish a paper on it. I politely told them that I'm not taking it down, but they're free to cite my work if it was useful to them.

Good for you! Most people lack the testicular fortitude to stand up for themselves.

That professor is such an asshole!

If it's built on yours rather than on your ideas then you should get authorship too

a zip file of java projects i made for ap comp sci like a decade ago is still bouncing around the school's network as of last year

every year a new crop of slackers slightly modifies each project to pass their class

See, that's how it should be done. Stand on the pile of bodies of slackers to see farther.
