I think the Apple versus Microsoft and the Lotus versus Borland "look and feel" lawsuits of the late 80's / early 90's pretty much resolved that concern. Tain't no such thing as "look and feel" infringement.
It still brings a smile to my face, thinking how Phillippe Kahn ( sp? ) was totally snookered by Microsoft with regards to the Borland purchase of Ashton Tate ( Dbase II ), and Microsoft's subsequent purchase of FoxPro. And yes Foundry is good stuff. The selling points are a bit different than Cisco selling points. It gets down to what best serves the customer.
