[a fool in paradise]

You can be sued for plagiarizing if you rewrite/stage the instructions of how to do something. The steps don’t change. They are facts too.

Depends on what you’re rewriting. Are you rewriting the instructions for how to paint a deck? That’s fine. Rewrite the instructions for how to work with a Black and Decker belt sander? You run into the issue of not owning the IP of the tool you are talking about.
