Would using this in this exact form be
considered plagiarism given it is on many sites that sell this seed on the
internet as well as on many seed packets? “Plant seeds in peat moss. Keep at
65-85F. Seeds should germinate in one month. Then pot them in a mixture of peat
and sterile potting soil. Grow indoors in a sunny window with good ventilation
or outside in partial sun in zones 9-12 (hardy only to 22F/-5C).” I do not feel that this is a copyright infringement
because I feel it is knowledge that anyone who has grown this seed would have.
What do the rest of you feel about this? It certainly does not have any extra
wording that would belong exclusively to someone such as if it were worded like
this: “These seeds should be planted in
peat moss. The temperature should be kept at 65-85F for the best germination
results. Seeds should germinate in one month but could take longer. Once they
have germinated, pot them in a mixture of peat and sterile potting soil. They
can be grown indoors in a sunny window with good ventilation or outside in
partial sun during the summer months or year round in zones 9-12 (hardy only to
22F/-5C).” Now, am I right or am I wrong to say
sample #1 is not a copyrightable paragraph but sample #2 would be? Thanks, Sheri |
