Let me expand a little on this... When windows 3.0 was released, microsoft was sued by apple because the windows user-interface was a clone of apple's user-interface. The courts decided, however, that "you can't copyright a user-interface", and that microsoft was free to distribute windows without paying any loyalties to apple. Thus, there is a legal precedent saying that it's ok for programs to copy the UI's of other programs. Unless Reborn actually photoshopped/gimped the rebirth pixmaps, PropellerHeads can't do or say anything. Not to mention the fact that there have been soft-synth UI's modeled after 303's and 909's since *LONG* before propellerheads did anything.
