I didn't vote, because neither really applies to me. I don't think anyone can claim that everything they do is completely original without being either ignorant or lying. Everything I do is influenced, subconsciously or consciously, by something I've seen before. So on that level, "everything I do is original" would be a lie for me.
At the same time, I've never "borrowed" anything directly by copy and pasting, with the exception of open-source code and always with copyright notices in tact. What Indinero did (it's not just the layout, another poster noted that the marketing copy is almost verbatim from Mint), though, is quite different from "borrowing" open source code. So I didn't feel like I should vote for that one either.
