A contestant wrote to us with the following questions regarding Facebook apps and ownership rights. See our answers in italics: 

1) Can an app in Facebook be programmed in CORE?

It depends on the nature of your solution. If it is a socialization app, then likely not. However, if it is a problem of computing scale and processing, then yes, CORE is very good at supporting such items. 

2) Who will own the winning solution?

Contestants can view the legal agreement under the "Submit Entry" button on our main challenge page (screenshot below). You will need to log into your HeroX account to see this.
