When I was in college, in a network programming class we had a semester final coding assignment. I forget now what all it was supposed to do, but I do recall my friend in the same class spent a week of free time writing his. I forgot about the assignment completely until he asked me how it was going for me a few hours before it was due. With no other options, I simply punched in a example program from the textbook, replaced about 10 lines in the middle and tested.

It seemed to work. So, I very clearly labeled which code was mine, and which was copied, so that I technically wasn't doing a plagiarism. Then I turned it in, and hoped for the best. I got a 100 on it. My friend was pissed, because he only got a 99.

It’s all from one person posting on stackoverflow.

If the inventor of the web didn’t want to copy things he wouldn’t have made it plaintext.

When I copy code from somewhere on the Internet, I include a comment with a link to the original. I encourage my team to do the same. Plagiarism should be frowned upon.

It’s not called plagiarism, it’s called inheritance

You don't need to plagiarize code, just use software libraries.

Ah yes. The bootstrap paradox code. Self created. Blessed be.
