whilst I don't really care so much about those things, the layout, icons and nomenclature of most functions seems to be eghmmm 'borrowed' directly from Adobe.

- cyborgx7 8y agoYou were right. I did enjoy this essay. I disagree with it. And even if I didn't, there are other reasons it wouldn't change my ethical outlook on the situation. But it is interesting nontheless.

- teddyh 8y agoAdobe developed all those things knowing that anyone could copy them for free, and Adobe chose to develop and release them anyway. I would say it’s fair game for anyone to copy, and nobody should feel guilty about it.
