Upvote for the Noune Project part!
LayerVault might of bought a Noune Project icon license however, but still, it's all too coincidental, even when you look at the colour scheme.
You can't copyright a shape & colour combinations (mainly squares) however, so it does make it tougher to call something a huge 'rip'
- mistercow 14y agoI did consider that they might have bought a license from TNP, but if they had, that would not grant them exclusive rights to the icon. Let's suppose they had bought such a license, and let's call the shared similarity between the LV icon and the FUI icon "X". Let's also suppose that X is copyrightable. The problem is that X is also shared by the TNP icon. So LV wouldn't have ownership of X, and wouldn't have any right to file a DMCA notice based on it.
