So it should be fine in a university setting that one person does all the work and the rest just copy it? The reason this is frowned upon is because the people that just copy don't end up gaining the valuable skills they are there for in the first place. I've worked in many group settings in school, and this is usually what ends up happening if left unchecked (1 or 2 people doing 90% of the work and the rest just copying it. I don't know about you, but I don't want any "leechers" working with me in the workplace. Why would I do your job for you and then not get the credit? In a work setting, I've been in groups where we had to share knowledge (each person is working on a different part and you need to combine them together). This is much different than what you are describing.
