- Actually, it clearly was taken from Google Maps. No way you could have accidentally designed it exactly the same. Not that I care, though. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 00:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well yes, i made it look exactly like the Google Maps one. The GM one was the inspiration for this actually.. and its exactly the same because its clear, simple, nice.. and functional (like almost everything Google makes). Why am i defending myself over an arrow.. weird. Anyhow.. sikander 17:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's still copyright infringement, if one can copyright a tiny arrow. If you copy the arrow by hand exactly, then it makes no difference that you didn't actually take the file itself from Google—it's the same amount of copyright infringement. I don't see why you couldn't create a "clear, simple, nice and functional" button on your own. Slightly smaller or larger, a little more 3-dimensionality (or none at all), a bit different colour, whatever. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 23:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Then go ahead and make one and replace this one. Be my guest. sikander 03:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
