Without trademarks, patents, or copyright, there&apos;s not much you can do.  There is no permission for you to give or not give, unless your actual code is being ripped off.  There is no &quot;open source&quot; license that the Svbtle design could be licensed under even if you wanted to do so.  You could probably get a patent on the design.  Apple has patents on rounded corners and page turning, for example.  Once you publish something or offer it for sale in the US, you have one year to file for a patent.  You still have time, but of course, IANAL.</text></comment>

Here&apos;s what they have to say about it:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    Isn&apos;t this unoriginal?  
     
    Yes, in the same way svbtle is unoriginal.
    See the original [&quot;inspiration&quot; for svbtle].
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
