You have the right to be claim authorship. This is independent of commercial ownership, but it is relevant for this purpose. As the original author, you're the obvious party to provide commercial support. | |

Which I already told my supervisor in person. I've decided to add a passage informing them (not asking for permission) of the usage of the code. And I made sure to clearly formulate that our usage is in accordance to the license under which it is released. And that we will not use trademarks, names or imply any connection to the company, besides as is required by the license (license file). I think this is the best course of action, as I don't want to hide my name. | |

make statement more narrow - MIT, Apache, BSD licenses are very different from GPL
