On your FLOSS comment: the agreement for a MSR PhD grant is very clear about "absolutely no GPL ever". But that's it. It's not hard to find MSR research into, say, OpenSSL running on Linux.

(Similarly, they demand a free license to any patent that comes out of your work, but the patent is still yours/your university's. I've heard rumours of worse contracts, but this one was just about being able to use the results of your work.)
