Fair enough if thats what the laws state, but surely you can understand why Mr Hyde would be so upset?
Those mounts are his job, and were originally his idea.

To see such a blatant rip of of your own product that you have spent many years developing must be very disheartening.
Also for the fact that his share of the market will be reduced, and hence profit will be hurt.

(alright you improved the mount some, but the basic idea is very much the same)
