Either talk a tutor into accepting my original thesis (which might proof impossible) or get a new thesis - either way it will take time and spoil my chances to finish my study "on time".

That's problematic - the source code belongs to some portion to the institution I wrote my study thesis for - it hasnt been a hobby project, in theory I just spend many additional time and effort for a normal study thesis
Thus its not really my work to sell
But I will try to publish some papers on this topics (at least) - so it will not be completely wasted.

I commend you for your efforts to stay calm. I think this is the best approach. But I hope you can find some other tutor willing to work with your existing thesis.

Thanks

I could appeal to the dean of students - but I dont think he could be of any help.
My original tutor is unwilling to do anything to help - so he's out. And then the problem is to find a new tutor - and they cannot be forced into accepting a thesis, so the dean could not do much to help me (he would have been able to accept the external tutor in the first case - but that train is gone (and I dont think my original tutor even has appealed to the dean..)).
If I find a tutor who is willing to accept this thesis, and the administration then rejects it (theoretically possible) - then I could appeal to the dean. But the second part is highly unlikely (I have never heard of a diploma thesis being rejected by the administration (before 2009 I've never heard of an external tutorship being rejected... and now I know of 5 this year).
