Adobe patents/copyright on widgets?

I'd be careful. I know Adobe has in the past sued people like Macromedia for creating similar interfaces to its products...

And then it bought them out :)
Don't worry, Adobe has not enough money to buy KDE.org...

There can't be any copyright on this. FLTK is using such wifgets a while now. I really like the concept. Agreed, I don't like the way KDE is mostly using MS Windows like widgets. Toolkits like FLTK provide some astonishingly well though widgets, take the file selectors for example - just intuitive and simple.
