Sorry if this question is presumptuous, but is it certain that this tool doesn't violate any patents held by Facebook, Inc.?
Flickr has a similar "notes" tool where you can drag a box around an area of the photo and type in a note of some sort - I'm sure the idea of adding boxes with info to images is not new, and unless we directly copied Facebook's coding for their version I don't think we're violating any copyrights or patents. This is just my opinion though, I haven't done any research on the subject...
I didn't know Flickr had a similar tool, which probably clears up my question :)
