RE: Rip-off

Any amount of copyright is irrelevant, as it costs too much to persue it through a court.

Even then, it isn't really possible to copyright the stuff Plus! does, you would need to get a patent on it, and it doesn't really justify a patent. Putting it under the GPL is a different issue to do with copyright of the source code, and they haven't used the source code from Plus! anyway.

What they are doing is most probably legal.
