Namas te.

Thanks for responding reasonably. I'll try to clarify. Here's what
the American Heritage Dictionary says about the term:

plagiarize (v.) 1. To steal and use (the ideas or writings of
another) as one's own. 2. To appropriate passages or ideas from
(another) and use them as one's own . . . To take and use as
one's own the writings or ideas of another.

Since this is pretty easy to understand (N.B. the specification
"as one's own" in all the definitions), I hope it helps.
