New gmail overloaded checkbox - does a gnu version exist?

Question

Hi In the new version of GMail I have seen a checkbox with a dropdown to select all/none/read/unread/starred/un-starred

Could such a thing be used on my site without getting hit with some look and feel copyright issue?

If not, do you know of one in public domain (jQuery would be nice)

Thanks

Without looking at the underlying HTML, it appears to be an ordinary checkbox sitting in the middle of a div that changes colour and pops up a dropdown when you click it. The checkbox is just a checkbox, and the div is a pretty ordinary pulldown menu. Just put one on top of the other.

It's a pretty compact UI presentation, I like it.
