Copying a plug and making a few for your bag or to give a couple of friends, no problem. Give credit where credit is due and everybody be happy. Copying a plug and selling, problem.
When starting out, just about everyone copies other plugs that are already available. It helps you to learn the nuts and bolts of what makes that specific plug tick. Once you have figured that out you can modify certain features of a plug so that it works better under the conditions you like to fish. A little tweaking here and there and you may end up with something very different than what you started with.
