CR Tidbit of the Day: Some objects become or turn another object into a copy of a spell, permanent, or card. Some effects put a token onto the battlefield thats a copy of another object. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original objects characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughtness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by as...enters the battlefield and as...is turned face up abilities that set characteristics, and by abilities that caused the object to be face down. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied. A copy acquires the color of the object its copying because that value is derived from its mana color or color indicator. A copy acquires the abilities of the object its copying because those values are derived from its rules text. A copy doesnt wind up with two values of each ability. (CR 706.1-706.2)
