Well, we can't see the code that is taken down here, but if assignment had a lot of set up code, and the assignment was to fill in some functions, there can be

  I'm a student in CS@Illinois and I took this class last semester. For assignment one, they gave us a library and the following where we had to make a working shell (sorry for formatting): / @file shell.c / #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include "log.h" log_t Log; /** * * Starting point for shell. * */ int main(int argc, char ** argv) { /** * * Analyze command line arguments * */ while(1) { /** * * Print a command prompt * */ /** * * Read the commands * */ /** * * Print the PID of the process executing the command * */ /** * * Decide which actions to take based on the command (exit, run program, etc.) * */ } return 0; } The provided code is rather sparse (by design), but the University holds copyright on it.

    You can use four leading spaces at the start of each line for a code block. What you've posted doesn't look substantial enough to be copyrightable to me; the idea of writing a main containing a while loop is certainly not original to the university, and the comments would presumably not be present in this repo since they'd've been replaced by working code. I sure hope the university of Illinois doesn't own the copyright on any shell I write from now on, because that would be ridiculous.
