I wouldn't expect any problems after the Apple vs Microsoft case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_v._Microsoft
Even though the outcome of the case wasn't that 'look and feel' aren't
copyrightable, there haven't been much 'look and feel' cases anymore.
If it were a strong legal stance, Microsoft would have crushed KDE by now ;-)
Besides, if Palm hasn't done anything about PhosphurOS nor BeOS
Max/Dev Ed (all of quite dubious legality) I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting to be sued for infringing on the look and feel of BeOS R5.
