That site includes a link to the Mac OS X fonts. These appear to exist
on the Internet because some doofus copied them and uploaded them
without thinking. They're commercial, copyrighted works made less than
10 years ago.
... and you can say the same thing about the Mac OS X icons.
The fonts, the icons, and the background images are all commercial
copyrighted works. We're not talking about whacked-out "Software
Licenses" or "EULAs" -- we're talking good, old-fashioned Copyright. The
same thing protecting all works of art.
When providing and promoting the tools to allow for the look-and-feel
to be the same, you need to be *very* sure you don't violate copyright.
Also, you most certainly do not want to *ever* appear to promote the
violation of copyright.
Copyright is the law. While I disagree with how it has been manipulated
by Disney and the like to protect their commercial franchises, I most
certainly do not disagree with the principles behind Copyright.
