None of LV's claims are true, the graphics is different. You cannot copyright an inspiration and not like LV were first there anyway. A lot of their gfx was inspired by some other work.
You could argue that Flat UI's icons were derivative works taking inspiration from LayerVault, but they were certainly not direct copies.

Back then my brother and I were huge LoL fans and we decided to build a fansite for the game.
You can see it here (it's no longer active):

We used Twitter bootstrap for our UI and that other site whined that we copied their style. When they were just using the default styles.
Nevertheless, funny story, I realized it was just bootstrap and it looked quite decent
My brother and I are currently working on a similar site for another game, this time putting into practice all the good things I've learned along the way. We won't quit this time.

waiting for pro version of Flat UI - http://designmodo.com/flat/
LV get free advertising from this process... i think this is just a wrong step from LV...
EDIT: Technically, it's 10-14 business days, and today's the 10th business day.

Say LayerVault filed notice on file A, which made github remove the repo for 10 working days from counter-notice. When back up, they file notice on file B, etc. Would this be possible?

It shows solidarity :)
User is (rightly) pissed. Less piss him some more.
I for one can't stop playing LoL ~
I'm not saying it's right, but it does feel scummy. If you think about it, it feels way less scummy to just ask for money. Asking for a tweet is like saying, here you can have this free thing if you degrade your friends' experience on twitter by a tiny amount first.
Do it a bunch and it adds up.
Whereas me paying someone one dollar doesn't degrade all of my friends' twitter streams.
I know I don't want to read people's "free stuff" tweets. I'd rather they didn't show up in my feed. I only want to read recommendations when they are genuine. Not when they were required.
