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.

Maybe Hacker News should send you a take down notice for copying HN with "Designer News" aka DN?

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.

What he said is that he is "the exclusive rights holder for the artwork contained within Flat UI". Presumably he's referring to Flat UI the UI Kit, not Flat UI the general trend.
