Well analogy like that will raise a lot of sticky issues – you are usually given assignments to do on your own and should not copy it from anyone…

Theres an assignment that one student has completed after a lot of hard work. He has the choice to give it to his classmates or not.
The assignment is his intellectual property.
Open source is him allowing them to use/modify the assignment.
The classmates getting hold of it and copying it when he doesnt want to give it to them is piracy.
