Duplicating your content will hurt you seriously, I have experienced this before as some sites went google bowling with our content and then getting stuck in spam filters. I may suggest removing your articles from googles index then benefit from the quality links you may receive, while rewriting the original content (which may be a headache).

But from my experience google wont rank someone higher for a page of duplicate text because they have more inbounds. The sites which were stealing our stuff were pr0 with few inbounds. But if you want to keep the text indexed i wouldnt suggest giving it away.
