Did Redis and MongoDB copyright their APIs?
- icebraining 7y agoCopyright is automatic, so if APIs are copyrightable, the answer is necessarily "yes".
- wuliwong 7y agoI'm looking for a distinction between code and an API. I think that the code that defined the APIs is copyrightable. If someone copied that code, it seems relatively cut and dry. Now if someone produced a similar interface but with entirely their own code, then it seems fine?
