It's inevitable on big projects like this, usually anyone can submit code changes on the svn and stuff like this can pass without people even knowing it's copy-pasta at all. I don't think the authors deliberately copied the text into their addon, and if even so it's strictly not a part of the addon itself in terms of code. Since it's not code or artwork it's a gray zone if you ask me.
