Can I use metro style interface in my own web application?
- by LukeP
I am wondering if I would need to license the Metro style or if I can just freely use it in my own applications. I mean, is it patented or protected in any way that would prevent me from building my own implementation? I effectively would like to copy the visible part of it.
I like to idea of being able to:
Provide an interface which is used somewhere else (as in 1 less to learn)
Use the interface that has been tested for usability (I personally like it)
Have the possibility of getting free publicity because of implementing full Metro style web application while not associated with Microsoft, etc.
