Now, given these facts, I do not see what you are trying to debate about. All questions pertaining to the original thread have been answered with very little room for doubt from all parties involved. What do you need to prove?

Something to prove? I have nothing to prove to anyone on this board or any party involved.

Just because he changed 1% by adding a header doesn't change the fact that he admits (and we can see) he copied 99.9% of the style (buttons, graphics, colors EXACTLY).
He made the button himself right? The graphics? The colors? I thought we said colors are not copyrighted?

TYVM? Thank you very much? Sounds like something someone that's becoming defensive would say.. You say there is nothing to debate yet you become defensive?

I wonder if everyone that has made their own vB icon like the one used as a favicon or in avatars is also subject to copyright infringement due to being "similar"?
