Webster sez:
Main Entry: pla?gia?rize
Pronunciation: 'plA-j&-"rIz also -jE-&-
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): -rized; -riz?ing
Etymology: plagiary
transitive verb : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of
another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting
the source
intransitive verb : to commit literary theft : present as new and
original an idea or product derived from an existing source
As the source WAS credited, it is NOT plagiarism as you
asserted.
