Looking for opinions on copying of mural text

Do you consider the content of a large piece of text part of a mural design? For example:
http://www.thelovekey.com/blog/you-a...eautiful-mural

The above text was copied and submitted for a mural design competition. There is nothing to the new design besides the words, and a repeating grid pattern in two colors. Would you consider that a "unique" design, despite the fact that the idea and text were copied from another mural?

It is a unique design whether or not it's a good unique design is a matter of personal taste.

I would consider it a mural. I think it looks good and the design nice especially how the font goes across the windows. I think it's more of a simple mural.
