It is not a spam, but not a good way of posting either.

Assuming the user continue to create the same topic in different boards or on the same board. That can be reported as spam.

Or if a post carry no meaning at all, it is also a spam.

That post carry meaning, but which is no more new to us on this forum because we all know about Microstrategy, it is what we have discussed before about MicroStrategy, also because it is copied directly from a news site. The post is not necessary at all and no one gave it merit. There are many post like that on this forum which no one has given merit and not deleted by moderator.

The post can not be deleted because it is not plagiarism too.

You are right: it carries meaning, but it's not useful, nor necessary. It's a waste of space (and readers' time). And it ends with a link (maybe to a blog of him? I don't know).
Imho it's spam because it's a waste of space and probably also because of the "generic" link.

And now, as you said it... hmm.. it may actually be extremely close to plagiarism since no proper source is listed, plus, as @Xal0lex pointed out very good, the guy has said nothing more than the (more or less) "quoted" text.
