Lemme put this in the way that I meant it...as I think you took this the wrong way.
Just copying the code and kinda pasting it in half-assed and just giving credit is what im thinking of here. Not really modifying the code, or basing your plugin around the block of code you are borrowing from the other plugin is what I'm thinking of. If you're borrowing a ton of code from other plugins, but not really changing much of anything except for minor vars and so forth, and its obvious that its just a bowl of copypasta, then its, in my mind, lacking original content.
Everyone borrows snippets of everyone elses code in some way or another to write their plugins or to get ideas of how to code something out. That is 100% encouraged and acceptable. I have a hunch you think I'm against copying any portion of code, which I'm not. Copying code is fine provided you are manipulating it on your own and bringing your own spin on the code, or at least if you are going to copy a portion of code giving credit to the original author, and its not 50,000 lines of code just ctrl+v'ed in there.
That clear up what I mean a little more?
