Way back - before web & maybe before 80's copy machines - academics kept the normative, social value questions of plagiarism separate fr the legal permission questions of copyright.
But w/over the last generation or so, the two issues have become confounded in most academics' minds. The CC initiative has contributed to that, IMO, but easy tech avail has done the most.
Now most academics think the two issues are same.
