Why don't we, as a community, collectively agree to boycott copyright trolls? (and teach them a lesson in the process) esp. when the target audience consists of developers/designers EDIT: I tried to cross-post this on Designer News, but it turns out they're invite-only. Can someone do me the honour?
I not see any resemblance between layervault project and Flat UI, colors are different, icons too... explain please guys what is the problem?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
_BUT_ as mentioned in the Github thread, FlatUI framework does NOT use any artwork from LayerVault. All of their assets were created in-house by DesginModo's designers..
Well, that remains to be seen. Looking at both websites, it's difficult to tell what they are talking about. Flat-UI doesn't seem to have any assets that mirror anything on LayerVault's. They need to be more specific.
I would say that is the issue in a nutshell. LayerVault is claiming they are the exclusive rights-holders, yet absolutely nothing in Flat-UI is the same as anything on LayerVault's public site.
The only possible angle remaining would be if LayerVault had a bunch of these elements behind their paywall... something tells me that's not the case.
Edit: Alright, I admit the colour Turquoise is used on both pages. Still, I'm fairly confident turquoise boxes (of differing shapes!) are not copyrightable.
It's sort of like the logic of GPL.

Yes, we need to create a new DN. LayerVault really has proven they are not the right entity to be running it.
Am I understanding this right; that LayerVault is trying to claim that they are the sole owners of the flat UI trend? I'm sorry Allan, I've been a fan of yours since before LayerVault was even launched, but this is really low. And if I'm remembering correctly, this isn't the first time you guys have harassed someone about using "your" aesthetic.
It's not about the flat UI trend. If you look at Layervault, their design is really unique and top notch. Flat UI-framework is heavily inspired by Layervault's design. There's no doubt about it. Same roundings, paddings, pastel color scheme, etc. They look visually extremely similar. LayerVault is obviously pissed that a design similar to their unique design will be used by amateur Bootstrappers all over the web.
The founder of LayerVault is claiming it was specific illustrations which were stolen https://twitter.com/Allan/status/309346292902014976 https://twitter.com/Allan/status/309350351054716929
