If you have the chance got to the Stardock site (or skinz.org if it is up again:) and look for yourself. Mac and OS/X based skins are a very small proportion of what is offered. Stardock did remove skins that where too close to the original. But what can one do against "inspired by". Where does one draw the line? As already stated by others Apple also got their "look and feel" from somebody else (Xerox's PARC). Does Windows look like a Mac, or OSF/Motif? Or do they all look like the Xerox Star?
Apple didn't pioneer the GUI. Xerox's PARC pioneered both the GUI and the mouse. There was no R&D at Apple that had anyting to do with that. They just hired some people that worked at PARC.

I should keep my mouth shut. This was already debated.
