It definitely appears that way from what people report.

Plagiarism is plagiarism whether from open source, to open source or whatever. 
It's plagiarism to pass off a play of Shakespeare's as your own, is it not?

Furthermore, unlike the Shakespeare example, if the accusations be true then 
the "peter-swing" spammer violated copyright, which is legally actionable, 
beyond plagiarism.

Wasn't it Tivo or Cisco or someone like that that got in trouble for using 
Linux and not distributing source code or acknowledging the copyright or such?
