A theoretical company existed which used to be registered in the United Kingdom and has since been dissolved.


The company was a SaaS(Software as a service) company.


The code was written by **Person A**, who was a minority shareholder director of the company.


There was no copyright, trademark or other license on the actual code files themselves and the original developer has access to the entire complete codebase.


**Question:**
Who 'owns' the code?
What freedoms does **Person A** have to use the code in a similar or project of their choice?



Who owns the software created by a dissolved startup company?
