In that case, it's more of a "don't reinvent the wheel" kind of thing. If an addon wants to replicate something Blizzard did, completely copying it is the best thing to do, as long as you change any globals in the reused code so it doesn't interfere with Blizzard's original code.

My second addon, Decliner, started almost three years ago by plopping in parts of code from addons I knew did what I wanted and I went from there. Barely any of the code is recognizable from what I started with.

My original reply was directed more at using active code ingame, especially code that has even one part protected.
