But the thing is that Kree doesn't care about the fern, and whether
or not they have broken copyright laws twice by using Kree's graphic
as background *and* Alex's fern, they have certainly broken CR laws
once, in the case of their background, which was not freehand work,
but a manipulated copy of Kree's original. And, as far as I can see,
once is still illegal at worst and rude at best.
The way my high school teacher always explained plagiarism was that
even if you paraphrase someone else's idea, its still someone else's
idea, and they deserve credit for it, as well as appreciation for
their contribution to the greater body of knowledge.
