| Feb 10, 2020 at 15:00 | comment | added | bharal | @gnasher729 it's really not amoral to copy design. I'm not sure if you've visited a sex shop before - but the "rabbit" featured in S&TC was not the original model, it was a copied design. Layout and font are even harder to copywright. In any event, that's a legal issue, not "moral" per say. | |

| Feb 7, 2020 at 20:20 | comment | added | TheSaint321 | This is workplace SE... I feel like this is a pretty useless answer. I don't think he's asking what Machiavelli would say about this, more about if he's being irrational to feel uncomfortable doing this and what repercussions he could face for either decision. | |
