@SharpLimefox >the theft of intellectual property
Imaginary property does not exist, it is a seductive mirage; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html

When writing about any topic, it's important to say what you mean and not something else.

You seem to be encouraging the carrying out of unauthorized copying, which is not theft and typically is legal unless the form of copying is prohibited and in that case the act is copyright infringement.

>i will slap the GPLv3 on it to make it radioactive to patent lawyers
The GPLv3 isn't radioactive to patent lawyers as it allocates patent license(s) (if applicable) in a much fairer way than a typical proprietary license.

Nevertheless, that free software license is an excellent choice as long as you make sure to license GPLv3-or-later and add adequate notices to the top of each nontrivial source file (this is really best practice for every license, not just the GPLv3+).

Mind you, the AGPLv3-or-later is even better.

>also yes everything i make is technically under copyright for my employer (my university)
Unless you signed a contract (arguably only fair contracts that aren't signed under duress are valid) that assigns all of your copyrights to your employer, then your copyrights are yours, no matter what your employer claims.

Merely because you are employed by someone doesn't mean your copyrights are surrendered - it's only if a certain activity counts as a work for hire or if another agreement has been reached that the employer receives the copyrights.
