IANAL, but I think Linux is taking the very same risk Microsoft is - when they took the Mac OS look & feel from Apple. Apple filed suit and lost. Which is only fair because THEY took the idea of GUI from Xerox...
Wrong. Apple sued MS because MS used a beta of the Apple Mac to base Windows on. They got that disguised as "we'll write you a spreadsheet app". Apple sued becuase MS violated an NDA, not because they copied the look and feel.
As someone said once, to see far climb on the shoulder of giants.
