The apps are hosted on one of our sites and are can be downloaded by anyone but they will only work for our students as they require users to logon securely through the uni's authentication system. I've been distributing these up to now using a commercial license but I'm wondering whether this is necessary. The pertinent question seems to be - do I need to distribute the source code to students to be within the terms of the community license?
