Not an Applogie ...

Apple have now published the statement that Samsung do not infringe their Community Design in the form requested by the Court of Appeal (more or less, anyway).  Here is a link to Pocket-Lint's critique of the statement.  Their own website contains a rather embarassing correction - here's a link, look at the bottom of their main UK page. 
We've all gotten somewhat sick of the design drawings by now, so as a retro treat I am bringing you this League for Programming Freedom badge from the days when Apple and copyright law, rather than Microsoft and patent law, or Google and economic dominance, were the enemies of all decent techies.  The report of the most recent Court of Appeal hearing should be a bit of a hoot, and unless the Supreme Court are inclined to accept another layer of appeals that is probably going to be the last word in Europe on this splendid design case.
