Sure, it uses a default brush. But who has demonstrated that the exact swirl pattern can be reproduced trivially by accident? No one. When companies show up with a logo that reproduces your exact *application* of the brush, angle for angle down to the pixel, it stretches credulity to claim that this occurred to them independently. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
