Well, copying a few sentences from the original project homepage and
providing "Source" or "Courtesy" or linking the original project page
+ adding some original content is *not* plagiarism. I think Arun had
done that from what brief glance I had at the initial versions of the
Wikipage.

>From Wikipedia :
Plagiarism is
"use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author
and the representation of them as ___one's own original work___."

Definitely what Shakthi has pointed out is a important point which is
not respected as students (I was one of them too initially). Its good
to learn these values now.

Thanks and Regards,
