Post #28,192 by nking 2/12/02 11:16:42 PM Reply	If it was copy and paste then that is about as bad as copying word for word from an encyclopedia or other book and presenting it as your own work. But copying the idea, and changing the words a bit, or rewording, is a totally different thing. It is idea stealing, but many corps do that anyway. They may have to change things around a bit to avoid "photocopying" the original project. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
