MetaLab Goes Open Source?
I don’t understand why companies think that they can get away with doing this. The internet is a surprisingly small place, and we were notified almost immediately. We’ve all had a good chuckle about this, but we’ve contacted Mozilla and demanded that they take the design down. I’d expect better from a respectable company like Mozilla. It’s one thing when a student or fledgling company does something like this, but Mozilla is a big company with the resources to create original design.
In the meantime, let Mozilla know this isn’t okay. Tweet at @MozillaNews or leave a comment over on HackerNews.
… We’ve asked for a public apology, and I’ll be doing a follow-up post tomorrow.
Note to plagiarizers: don’t fuck with MetaLab.
