    A dude out in the Philippines is pissed off because Apple rejected his iManila tourism app. The cited reason was a "copyright violation" pertaining to the nation's flag used in his app icon. He interprets this to mean that Apple is claiming that it holds the copyright to the Filipino flag, and boy howdy, he is steamed about that. He went so far as to dig up the Filipino government's specific prohibition of any commercial usage of the flag to prove Apple can't own it.

    That's the point, guy: Apple is saying you can't use it, for that exact reason. Read the friggin' letter carefully, and you'll probably see I'm right. And to you kind readers, sorry to drag you through this legal gobbledygook. [applei.ph]
