Whether this is true or false, I see this hurting LayerVault more than it's worth fighting. It will be interesting to see this play out.

#42I thought "look and feel" lawsuits over UI were settled long ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Software#.22Look_and_feel...
From the DMCA takedown letter: > I am the exclusive rights holder for the artwork contained within Flat UI That's quite a difference to "look and feel". Right now, there is just not enough information to know what this is all about.
If it was icons, I think a court said recently icons cannot be copyrighted?
Ah maybe it was thumbnails cannot be copyrighted.

#44Can someone please summarize for those of us not plugged in to the web UI framework (or whatever this is) community? I'm seeing entities like "LayerVault" and "Flat UI" and products (?) named "trend" that I've never heard of. Is this an abuse of process I should actually care about or is it just a "who did what?" spit between estranged developers?

#47I not see any resemblance between layervault project and Flat UI, colors are different, icons too... explain please guys what is the problem?
I checked the colors and they're different. They may look the same, also square/flat interface is part of Windows 8.
