Is it spam or plagiarism? Or plagiarised spam?

It's not plagiarism: the same author for both, if you look at the left hand side of the other site page.
And I'm not convinced it's spam - it's open source, and includes the source code in a download apparently, although the downloads should be here not there.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I see, thank you for clarifying that for me.
Well the problem I had with it is that is a pure copy, word to word.
I see it as nothing more than an attempt to post a link, which is the only thing that was added from the original content.

That is allowed - you can post an article in several places, provided it's yours to post.
OK - it's the blurb from their website, but it's technical blurb for a free product, and while the downloads should be here rather than there, I don't have a problem with it.
Probably would have been better posted as a blog rather than an article, perhaps.

I have built an application to catch those: it searches the first 30 (or whatever number of) pages of Who's Who (sorted by Member ID Descending) and gives me all users with an edited biography, for a manual check afterwards. The results are fairly accurate: out of the 15 members it gave me, 11 are clear spammers, 2 are non-spammers and about the 2 others, I'm not sure (see the end of this message).
The 11 spammers
With spammy biography text and a spammy Homepage link.
Spammer 1[^]
Spammer 2[^]
Spammer 3[^]
Spammer 4[^]
Spammer 5[^]
Spammer 6[^]
Spammer 7[^]
Spammer 8[^]
Spammer 9[^]
Spammer 10[^]
Spammer 11[^]
The 2 cases that I wasn't sure about
Their biography only consists of a website link which they also have as Homepage link, but as the site names don't contain a spam keyword that we've seen here before, I wasn't sure about those. Please take a look.

Spam. Appears to be a Polish site selling scented bin bags.

Spam. A site which simply wraps another site in an <iframe>. The wrapped site is a Polish blog "about making money" - nothing more than the traditional "get rich quick" scam.
