> PS: Feel free to comment on actual the points I made. Sure. I think the idea that API's (or implementations as you said) can be copyrighted is completely insane and I can't believe any software engineer would be okay with it. Which makes me think you're not a software engineer, and that's okay, but please read up on the issues, this is super important for our profession. I can't belive the US made that a law and it makes me sure that I will never want to move there. |

I think you are super confused here. This is not about APIs. Copyright is what allows software developers to enforce a license of their choice. Without copyright, the license is just a text file without meaning. I suggest you read up on the FSF's position on this if you want to have an example.
> Sure.
(Still waiting for you to comment on the points I have made.)
