Headwall Software: stolen IP from Pivotal Labs?

10 points by shiftb ↗ HN
Compare http://headwallsoft.com to http://pivotallabs.com

Then, check out http://headwallsoft.com/stylesheets/app_all.css and search for 'pivot'.

Hilarity ensues.

Could it be they bought the same template?

Unlikely, the css class names are pivotal, pivots, etc which seems pretty unique to them.

I'm not too familiar with either company, but wouldn't it have been better to bring this up privately with the involved companies before posting about it on HN?

It'd be a shame if Headwall obtained permission from Pivotal to use their design and they were wrongly portrayed as thieves.

the odd thing is .. the css file is so extensive but the css classes being used on the site are a select few ..
