I'm currently an engineering masters student, and the code I've written is available on github
Did you have to clear this with your university/advisor? AFAIK, my university has copyright on code I produce on paid time or using university facilities/equipment, which covers my research and even a good chunk of my homework.
meaning that what I wrote only really serves to glue a bunch of completely closed algorithms together
This is consistent with what I've run across. It seems a lot of research revolves around modifications to an existing system, but in CS, it seems the established code base is more likely to be open source (e.g. Jikes RVM) or be proprietary but still have source code readily available (e.g. SimpleScalar).

- kd0amg 16y agoEh... good enough. I'd do it if I had my advisor's approval (I really doubt he'd give an OK that would get me in trouble).

They're very unlikely to stop you if you just go and do it. It only really becomes an issue if you try to make money off of it.
