Mozilla
In March 2010, Andrew Wilkinson (cofounder of MetaLab) wrote a blog post claiming that Mozilla "literally copied images straight off of our site" for use in the design of their FlightDeck editor.[7][8] The story, which was picked up by TechCrunch,[9] caused Mozilla to tell Wilkinson that "[the] design which used [MetaLab's] site’s design elements was a development build and according to [Mozilla] the design has been changed in newer builds." Wilkinson then requested a public apology.
