An engineer has a full-time position as a structural engineer at an Architecture and Engineering firm. During the weekends, the engineer works on privately obtained consulting jobs. Occasionally, for the consulting job, the engineers uses a Structural Analysis and Design software which is licensed to his employer, to which has access using a remote VPN connection from home. This action is most probably unethical because: OA The engineer's employment contract prohibits misuse and misappropriation of the software license. O B. The access gives the engineer an unfair economic advantage. O C. The company has not given the engineer permission to use the software for outside contracts. O D. The use of the software on private computers can make the software vulnerable to computer viruses and render it unoperational.
