It may be a good idea to ping the author of this app and give them a heads up. This doesn't look malicious to me. I believe the author here probably doesn't realize this is a problem, and likely will be very surprised by the apple legal nasty gram.
To put it another way, I have a saying. "We're better people than that.". While it is rude to use a copied icon, it's still polite to give them fair warning. Everyone on this list would likely appreciate fair warning for a harmless act such as this. Chris Ps I wonder if this is an xtra author's app. On Jul 29, 2011, at 11:12 AM, Eric Richie <e...@adium.im> wrote: > I've already received 2 follow-ups and our complaint is on its way to > the legal department.
