I came to write this. It's a nice experiment anyways.

Well the code is on github - fork it and update it!

#5This is actually pretty awesome!
Re: Path menu in pure CSS3
#6Nice!
What the the licensing implications of using this code & interaction model?
Luckily Path don't seem to have a patent on this, otherwise you'd have to change the circles to squares...

#7Obviously Path has done something great in terms of coming up with a beautiful, innovative menu design.
Do people here think that Path should have been granted some type of protection so that others couldn't copy its look and feel so quickly, or it is okay that competitors have come out almost immediately?
I am just asking the question, I'm not sure how I feel about the issue. I'm against software patents, but I could certainly understand if Path's GUI designers are pissed that people are copying them so quickly, and making them lose their advantage.

I seriously hope they don't consider a menu design to be a major competitive advantage. Presumably, people will use Path not because of the menu system.

Of course not. If so, the same would have had to be said for any number of design elements created in the past.

I think this would fall under a "design patent"[1] (though I may be wrong). Since they didn't bother to get one, as long as the actual assets aren't used, the interaction and design can be imitated.
Also, speaking as a designer, I would be thrilled if I saw people so fervently duplicating an interaction scheme I had created. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," and all that.
