Hi :) In the MS vs TomTom case significant 'damages' were awarded to MS because TomTom were using a file-system that could be read by Windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._TomTom http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._TomTom_%282008,_USA%29 TomTom 'should' have been paying MS for the privilege of selling a product that worked on MS systems.
The issue about Alfresco is a side-issue. It's about trying to disrupt work-flow and doing so 'behind the back' of the established team-leader. While David & Jean have spent months setting up good work-flow with lots of discussion in the team Gary just suddenly decided to throw that out and tell new people to use his personal inadequate systems. The team seems to be re-asserting itself now at last. The legal issue about screen-shots is more important. Should we risk using stuff that some people that have legal experience or knowledge tell us is risky or should we stick to using safer screen-shots that look almost identical anyway? I realise that "almost" is the key-word there but since everyone uses different themes and skins it's impossible to make it all identical for everyone.
