This may be a really dumb question but I am fairly new at this. If I copy the first paragraph of a hub....put it on another site... and link it to my HubPages hub, will it show up on my account as Duplicate Content?

Are we allowed to republish our articles elsewhere and keep the original hubs here in the mean time?
