    KDE only has trademark on gear with K.

    The use of a gear even if it uses the KDE blue background is not protected.

Also others icons like the "Highest rate" and "Recently updated" look familiar - even more than the logo.

That's pretty bad. Some people might actually think that Opera (wich is non-Free, as in "free speech") is an KDE-project because of that!

Also, I noticed this in QNX:

IANAL, but KDE should seriously consider suing QNX and Opera.

Starachowice, the city I grew up, uses gears along with its coat of arms for 40 for more years - http://wallops.info/4images/details.php?image_id=733

Gears are just so popular motive :)

    Yes, a lot of people use gears. A white gear on a shiny blue square, though...?
