In some countries, like Brazil, softwares are not copyrighted, nor ideas. They are considered as "art", like a book, so you can't copy, use, etc., without authorization. But you can get the idea and rewrite it. You can't use the same buttons from some Microsoft product, but nothing stops you from deciding that a disk symbol means "save".

That sounds like copyright.
