> Yeah of course the same way Western world feels "dirty" because they copied Yoga or patented indigenous herbals or any number of other things? I don't think the comparison holds at all: Yoga is something people do in many different ways, not a specific product, nor is 'the western world' a single entity. When I do Yoga I am not selling my attempt at whatever 'real' yoga is for profit. This comparison might have made sense, mind you, not much, if I had said that other companies should feel dirty for making tablets after the first one was made. > Perhaps it's time we recognised ideas and concepts are meant to be taken up and extended by other people? I agree with this and is a bit stating the obvious. This is, as you say, basically how mankind works. To be clear I don't think Huawei should be prevented from doing this, I just think it is unauthentic which I don't like. It is purely an expression of my dislike of what they've created not a call to action for some team of lawyers.
