I see no re-use by Zinc Alloy in his theme, compared with the earlier Brushed Metal theme. It's obvious his 'brushed metal' background is totally different.
ZincAlloy:
exactly. the only thing that is not different is the name - there's no creative work involved with the name (lack of creativity led me to naming it brushed metal ;D) as it is a descriptive name. creative work is necessary to create copyright.

This is not personal, there's no need to use an offensive tone.

I couldn't agree more.

If one person can do this on his own, others might as well, but if that's how it's intended, I hope they delete themes for the right reasons.
Llorean:
Please, don't assume tone on messages. It's entirely possible he wanted to honestly know. Do you think he would've used the term "visually impaired" if he simply wanted to say "are you BLIND?!" in a negative tone? This is a very real problem I've noticed with text on the screen: people decide for themselves what tone the other person must've meant. Rather than assuming you know what he meant, why not ask first?

Well Llorean, you can put it under the "It's entirely possible he wanted to honestly know" label, but honestly, I don't think you're that naive. So, one thing is having someone starting to use an offensive tone on you, and another thing is bearing with the fact that a Rockbox staff representative, supports him (is your attitude related to an argument we had some time ago? It's alright I don't need an answer) Others might take it - I've seen it before. Well I don't take it. It's just against what I believe in, and of course, against what I like, no matter how much I care about Rockbox as a project. It's just a matter of personal principles, something no one can argue about. No big deal, no worries, I'm out of here anyway… just say the last word and make it look better... (or not)
