Looks like wild strawberry to me - if in full sun it can produce tiny fruit but they're a bit variable in taste and the plant is rampant so in my garden it's considered a weed.

Agree that it is wild strawberry. In our garden it grows where it wants and I don't mind as no weeding is needed in those areas 🍓
The small fruit is delicious 🍓

Thank you! It's growing in a patch of wasteland near me and I was wondering if it was a type of strawberry and if so, would it be ethical to appropriate some…

Definitely take some, you'll have it for years

It could also be potentilla indica, which we have in our garden, it’s a very strawberry leaf but the fruit is not, in fact, delicious. So your mileage may vary.

No, it's not wild strawberry. Wild strawberry has 3 leaflets, this has 5. It's a Potentilla (cinquefoil - which means 5 leaves). It could be Potentilla indica, or it could be our native Creeping cinquefoil, Potentilla reptans, with pretty yellow flowers like small single roses.
