The Sphinn article isn't the same as the article it links to - all it shares is the majority of your title. When Andy sphunn it he didn't even use any of your content as a description, so it's not a question of there being duplicate content in the SERPs.

As far as Google is concerned, they're two unique pages talking about the same subject and it ranks the one from the higher authority site, Sphinn, first.

After w while Google will take into account links, and determine the original source. It can take a week or so for Google to work out link attribution.
The same happens with all forms of syndication, whether it be RSS or older forms of syndication such as article marketing or press releases.

Ultimately, if there are links back to the original, Google often works things out, and if not, at least the syndicated copy has more chances of ranking compared to similar articles on competitor sites, and you get a backlink from a fairly authority website.

Shady, but they're dofollowing the link out to me, unless I'm mistaken?

Good point baiduyou, I hadn't really looked at it like that.

Good points too Andy, I'll take the link

jeffquipp - that's a great read, thanks for the heads up! :-)
