Absolutely. The context is "no plagiarism except from RFCs"
(modulo the pre-5378 derivative works gotcha).
I don’t think it is plagiarism if the work from other RFCs is cited.
Yes, and I think the actual text of the draft makes that clear. If it doesn't,
please send text.

That mostly involves earlier text
authors being involved but not always. Similarly, we often
copy chunks of text from document A to document B without
asking the authors of A. Those are almost never problematic
with our boilerplate (and are almost always done well), but
I dunno if there's a definition of plagiarism that fits what
we want.
I'm also not sure we want to make a local definition of
plagiarism.
Well, we *certainly* don't want to rewrite RFC5378 here. But
borrowing from external sources is a different matter, and
possibly illegal, but WANL (we are not lawyers).
