IANAL, but when you say "team admins", do you mean their teams in the workplace? If so, then I would assume that it is all property of the company, in the same vein that work e-mails, documents, and source code generally is. I ima

Yes, but have you been part of the development & testing effort for mission-critical software (e.g. a class 1 or 2 medical device?). It's not true in all cases, but for the most part the level of QA that goes into the devices befor
