	The decision that you refer to was the one that required Apple
to use that list of features that it felt constituted copyright
infringement.  The decision only effected the way that Apple's
claims of copyright infringement will be tested.  It did not decide
the question of (user interface) copyright infringement.

	For more information on "total concept and feel" and "look
and feel" see Pamela Samuelson's May 1989 article in _The Communications
of the ACM_, pp. 563-572.  Pamela Samuelson is an intellectual property
law professor at the University of Pittsburgh.
