Computer Scientists Ask Supreme Court to Rule APIs Can’t Be Copyrighted
i Think the best analogy to this situation: Oracle (or its predecessor) published a cookbook and it tries to indemnify anyone profiting from it, like a restaurant or catering service that utilizes the same recipes compiled therein..<p>the cookbook in itself has copyright, but utilizing the instructions from it for your own food or business is not exactly the same as republishing the cookbook itself or redistributing it<p>imagine if someone could copyright the way we make grilled cheese sandwiches
