I had decided not to reply to Brett's tripe about the GPL any more.
But I must react to this abuse of the English language.  For a
professional writer, this is disgraceful.

Plagiarism is claiming someone else's work as your own.  Greg did
not do that: it was clearly marked as a quote.  (I think Greg would be
a quite unlikely person to plagiarise Brett.)

Quoting without attribution is just that, quoting without attribution.
