Mozilla
In March 2010, Andrew Wilkinson (cofounder of MetaLab) wrote a blog post claiming that Mozilla "literally copied images straight off of our site" for use in the design of their FlightDeck editor. The story, which was picked up by TechCrunch, caused Mozilla to tell Wilkinson that "[the] design which used [MetaLab's] site’s design elements was a development build and according to [Mozilla] the design has been changed in newer builds." Wilkinson then requested a public apology.
