Llorean:
There's nothing wrong with creating a similar interface. But reusing an image (even if modified, perhaps to scale it down) without explicit permission (in the form of an appropriate license) is a violation of copyright. Yes, any violating image/theme should be reported to the site.
ZincAlloy:
speaking of copyright violations: there's several themes on the wps gallery that are violating copyrights as well. should I delete them?
Llorean:
Yes, and place a note there so that (hopefully) the author sees why and doesn't just re-add it without resolving the problem first.

I'm all for cleaning up copyright violations, but how to guarantee it will be done with the adequate criteria, rather than a personal/subjective one? I'm sorry but I can't help wondering what will happen to Zakk Roberts' "Brushed Metal (2006)" http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#Brushed_Metal and ZincAlloy's theme with the same name (2008) http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIriverH300#Brushed_Metal
Llorean:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your point. Are you saying we should err in favour of violating copyright? Better to be too lax, than too strict?
