Popcorn Hack #1

Suppose you buy something that someone made.
When is it your IP, and when is it not your IP?

Your IP:
If you buy a blank notebook and write your own story in it, the story you create is your intellectual property because it is your original work.
Not Your IP:
If you buy a movie DVD, you own the physical disc, but not the copyright to the movie. You cannot legally copy or distribute the content, because it is not your IP.

Popcorn Hack #2

As a computer science student, which license suits your repository/site the best and why?

MIT License

The MIT License is a great fit because it allows others to freely use, modify, and distribute your code, even for commercial purposes, as long as they give you credit. It’s simple, permissive, and widely used in the open-source community, making it ideal for students who want to share their projects, encourage collaboration, and build a public portfolio.
