I really don't think you've got a leg to stand on.
You're putting up completed homework assignments, and from your school's policy on the same, we have (emphasis mine):
Academic honesty and integrity lie at the heart of any educational enterprise. Students are expected to do their own work and neither to give nor to receive assistance during quizzes, examinations, or other class exercises.
Your university'll probably tell you to take the code off and warn you how you violated their academic misconduct rules. It's just the way these things work.
Now, be that as it may, it seems to me that your best chance is to argue that those rules only apply while you're actually in the class. Now that you're done with them, your works have just as much right to be out there on the Internet as anybody else's BST and heap and whatnot. I mean, how many GPLed shells are out there alone?:>
I wish you the best of luck, and I think it was definitely the smart thing to do to bring this issue to the university's attention before it comes back to haunt you, but I really don't think you're going to have much luck changing anybody's mind.
Now, I am not a lawyer, but if memory serves, the legal stuff that's going on here is less simple than it looks. Once you have some kind of a contract, you're right, the 7-11 jockey has to take your money--unless you agree otherwise. The option to pay for something with legal tender is something you can wave--if it wasn't, then Amazon.com would have a cash option. You can go ahead and look for it, but I don't think you're likely to find it.
OK, here's what happens (as best as I can recall from what little law training I've had):
You don't have a contract when you walk up to the counter of the local 7-11 with your pack of Slim Jims and a diet coke. You're making an offer to buy at the advertised price.
Meanwhile, the 7-11 jockey, as an agent for 7-11, is blessed with the authority to accept your offer, BASED ON THE TERMS listed on the big sign that says fifties and up are not acceptable. In other words, he's only going to "accept" your "offer" if you agree to pay using a denomination smaller than a $50.
So unless you're paying how they want you to, there's no contract, and no exchange of goods for money.</off-topic>
Oh, and as far as this weird new money is concerned, don't you think it'd be trivial to weave some metalic fiber into your wallet/wallet lining? Wouldn't that be enough to "fix" (i.e. break) the signal? Hell, you could probably just put a piece of aluminum foil in the "hidden" pocket that 99% of wallets have. Voila. How hard was that?
I hate regioning as much as the next anime fan, but I don't quite understand how they have a case here. Can't these small outfits just make region-free DVDs?

Actually, there's a bijection between the set of integers and the set of odd integers, so they're the same size.

I've had a bit of a fetish for chicks wearing glasses for years. I've never, ever been able to find a website for that.
Please...
