I didn't think simply changing colors removed the original copyright.
[emphasis added]
If that is in fact what was done, it obviously doesn't.
However, what is actually copyrighted is a specific representation of
a person in a wheelchair, and the creation of derivative works
thereof. It's not clear that all minimalistic representations of a
person in a wheelchair would be derivative works of the ISA.
And, considering the very restricted meaning of "copying" under
copyright law, if I have a printout of the symbol and design a copy of
it using a computer, then as far as copyright law goes it is not a
derivative. It may be a breach of trademark...
Cheers,
