Question

What is meant by plagorism and what are the limitations of it?

Answer 1

Plagarizing is the intentional taking (the work or an idea of someone else) and pass it off as one's own and often for the unlawful financial gain however not limited to.

When you simply copy a code but not for publication it is intended to study and learn how something is possibly done and how the utility or utilities may be used elsewhere.

both of these codes address plagarism

In open source, it is ok to copy but credit must be given to the original author
