I could link to a picture of R2D2 from Star Wars- a "droid" - and make the same argument. I think lately people are a bit more sensitive about "originality" and "ownership" than they should be. For instance, I remember Wil Shipley complaining that apple "stole" the idea for the bookshelves in iBookstore from his Delicious Library. Yet I used a wooden bookshelf UI about a decade before delicious library came out. Can I claim wil stole from me?
