'Of course, some might argue that if you design a "flag" and declare
that you did so "as a symbol of unity and national identity," and then
allow that flag image to be used for decades in order to establish it as
identifying indigenous Australians it is (1) kind of an obnoxious move
to then register a copyright, license it and start sending out legal
threats and (2) so blatantly obviously against anything having to do
with copyright law. Thomas did not design the flag because of the
incentives of copyright law, as even he admits. The idea that he then
gets to benefit from that law that had nothing to do with incentivizing
the creation seems quite ludicrous.'
