Is this set of icons just copied from out of windows 7? I am thinking of the copyright infringement implications if this is so. Also, as with some of the current Apple copyright court battles, we have to consider "Look and Feel". I would not want to see Puppy targeted for using copyrighted material without permission as it could lead to problems. |

arj_pup, it would be nice if you gave a URL where you found the icons. So no one would worry.

You can attach it to a Personal Messsage to Flash. Just click on his name and select PM for personal message. When I asked, I was not trying to create problems. But by the same train of thought, I do not want to see icons that might come from a microsoft operating system offered as that could spell trouble. So when you figure out where you got them, just let Flash know. |

After reading the page you linked to, it looks like the package is released under GPL, but that the graphics, aka icons are proprietary microsoft icons. So I would say that it is a bit iffy as to being fully open source. And I do not know if you had noticed, but there is a disclaimer that says "Use at your own risk". Also, there was something about the package checking the PC it was installed on. I would not think a theme package would have to do that. So to me those Windows 7-like icons are in fact proprietary windows icons. |

Is this the new way of puppy linux? Regarding "Look is everything" - shall puppy linux look like windows and/or apple computers? What is about the copyright? I am sure MS would not be happy! Don't you think, acting like this (publishing copyrighted stuff, owned by others than you) is a bit criminal? Aren't you afraid to end with criminal prosecution? What about the Owner of the Forum? Does he support acting like this? NOTE: I do dissociate from all users/persons who commit such acts! Oh, i forgot. As a Puppy Derivative Developer i do not have the right to complain... Neither if got no help nor if get offered illegal stuff!
