Specific elements of a design can be copyrighted. Apple won the "trashcan" icon, but effectively nothing else during the Microsoft/Apple lawsuit over a look and feel. As long as the code is entirely your own, the graphics are your own (and yes, copying too closely a specific graphic element like the trashcan can be a problem) and you aren't doing cloning elements that are trademark/tradedress related, you should be within the law (in the US).

Of course, that doesn't mean that someone can't sue you. Meritless lawsuits are started all the time for intimidation. Also note that patents can cover the interaction of the user with a UI, so copyright might not be your primary problem in some cases.

blocks|key|852902|text|在软件中，版权包括代码本身以及文本内容或图像等内容。你应该担心的问题不是版权或商标，而是专利。复制通用设计和功能集可能会与他们申请的任何专利相冲突。尽管一家小公司不太可能申请足够多的专利来真正阻碍Windows或Linux的克隆。|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|852903|entityMap^0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|D|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|-4|5|6|7|E|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|C|$]]

In software, copyright covers the code itself and things like text content or images. The issue you should be worried about is not copyright or trademarks, but patents. Copying the general design and feature set may run afoul any patents they have filed. Although it is unlikely that a small company would have filed enough patents to really get in the way of making a Windows or Linux clone.

blocks|key|4035559|text|如果你正在寻找设计灵感，而不是试图使用现有的位图，你可能是可以的。但是，可能存在设计专利和商标问题，以保护特定的产品不会被“复制”所迷惑。也可能有特定的专利来保护软件的工作方式。|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|4035560|这里有一个实际的方面--如果你正在写一些对(嗯)鼓舞人心的作品的所有者来说是“小薯条”的东西，你永远不必担心它。但如果你的生意依赖于它，你可能应该咨询律师...|4035561|entityMap^0|0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|F|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|C|5|6|7|G|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|D|3|-4|5|6|7|H|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|E|$]]

If you are looking for design inspiration, and are not trying to use existing bitmaps, you're probably okay. But there may be design patent and trademark issues that protect a particular product from bring confused by a "copy". There may also be specific patents that protect the way the software works.

There's a practical aspect here -- if you are writing something that is "small fries" to the owner of the (ahem) inspiring work, you'll never have to worry about it. But if your business depends on it, you probably should be consulting a lawyer...

There is a lot of gray area, but the term "Look and Feel" pretty much originated from a lawsuit.

Read up on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_v._Microsoft" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apple vs. Microsoft</a>. A UI is copyrightable as long as it is not the only way such an interface could possibly be created. By the way, Apple vs. Microsoft is not exactly a great way to judge this, because Microsoft had already licensed a large portion of the UI from Apple:

<blockquote>
 Apple came up with a list of 189 GUI
 elements; the judge decided that 179
 of these elements had been licensed to
 Microsoft in the Windows 1.0
 agreement, and most of the remaining
 10 elements were not
 copyrightable—either they were
 unoriginal to Apple, or they were the
 only possible way of expressing a
 particular idea.
</blockquote>

Even if it is not illegal, it is certainly unethical.

blocks|key|3188810|text|我认为一般来说，答案是否定的，它不会是非法的。苹果试图起诉微软窃取了Mac+OS的“外观和感觉”，但失败了……有很多linux程序，它们几乎完全复制了类似windows程序的用户界面…|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|3188811|entityMap^0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|D|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|-4|5|6|7|E|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|C|$]]

I think in general the answer is no, it would not be illegal. Apple tried to sue Microsoft for stealing the "look and feel" of Mac OS, and lost... There are lots of linux programs, which copy the UI of similar windows programs almost exactly...

Is it legal to more or less "copy" (or euphemistically, be very "inspired by") the idea and UI of a copyrighted program? This question popped in my mind when looking at "<a href="http://culturedcode.com/things/" rel="noreferrer">Things</a>" which is a Mac-only program.

How legal would it be for someone to make a Windows version of this program with a basically identical UI design and feature set? Where are the legal boundaries of what counts as copyright infringement?

Unless you specify otherwise, I am assuming an "IANAL" for any answer, so you don't have to write that. ;)

或多或少地“复制”(或委婉地说，是非常“受”启发的)受版权保护的程序的想法和用户界面是合法的吗？当我看到"“这个只在Mac上运行的程序时，这个问题突然出现在我脑海中。对于某人来说，制作一个Windows版本的这个程序具有基本相同的UI设计和功能集，这是合法的吗？什么是版权侵权的法律界限在哪里？除非你另有说明，否则我假设任何答案都是"IANAL“，所以你不必写出来。;)
