from the ask-hn dept.

im currently on my last year of bsc computer science in the uk, and i was thinking of solving a critical problem for my project, and hopefully making a startup out of it, i thought this would be better because at least its a win:win situation, so even if it deosnt get traction etc, its still my project, so i still pass my degree. what do you guys think

Are there any legal issues associated with course material being eventually used in a business?
