As you have probably noticed, new versions have arrived of Ubuntu, Xubuntu and other derivatives. One of the most exciting new features has received far less publicity than it deserves - the ability to 'install' it onto your USB flash drive with just a few clicks. The advantages are obvious: just plug your flash drive into a computer and run your favourite operating system. What's more, everything you do - installing applications, saving documents, editing preferences - will be saved to your flash drive and will be available to you every time you run it! The best news is that it's astoundingly easy: all it takes is a few clicks.

Except that this isn't plagiarizing. It's one distro packaging something that's been developed - FOR THE PURPOSE OF EVERYBODY ELSE USING IT TOO.
There is no competition with open source, only proprietary products have that mandate.
It's called sharing, and it shouldn't cause you to drop your monocle. Ahem.
