I’m developing a propietary (non Open Source) Web Application in ASP.NET, and I want to use the Look And Feel of Joomla (images, control distribution, etc.). Is this illegal? I’m violating the license doing this?
Copyright of look and feel is complicated. You should always consult a lawyer regarding something like this, but I think if you use Joomla an inspiration for a design you write yourself you have nothing to worry about. If you’re copying it wholesale or using their graphics files you will be on shakier ground.
In general, I believe graphics files will have stronger copyright protections than a stylesheet.
