Using company apps for side projects. Crossing an ethical line?

Company provides top tier software for team work. I've been using it for my own projects on weekends. Saves me money but feels dishonest. No explicit rules from leadership. What's your take?

My crew would laugh if I used our roofing tape at home. That little voice in your head is usually right about this stuff.

Why risk it if it feels off?

Exactly, why roll those dice? That "little voice" @alice602 mentioned is basically your brain sounding the alarm with all the info it has. I'm curious what makes people hit the mute button on it. Is it just stubbornness, or maybe worrying others will think you're being too careful? That noise can get pretty loud.

Gut feelings exist for a reason. I once pushed through the discomfort and regretted it for months.
