If you spy other code and even only find the constants and/or API functions you should provide proper credit to the other addons and /or author(s) in your addons description no matter what you name or how you recode the very same new in your addon!
That's fair and good way to show respect (and even is law in some countries).
So I don't understand your answer here?
It sounds like "yes I know what intellectual property is but I just ignore it as I'm basicaly using it but I have renamed the code and redone it totally different (using the same idea) in my code"
What basically is exactly what you should NOT do without telling where your sources and/or ideas came from IF the were not totally up to yourself.
But I might have missunderstood you there.
