No, it isn't providing api, merely using api (but providing it's own api). If using an api was copyrightable, our civilzation would collapse.

- kevin_b_er 6y agoAnd how will you use that API? If it is based on things like headers, you can no longer have a copy of that header to refer against. The compiler can no longer read that header into memory, as that's a copy. The use of an API will be copyrightable too. Now you understand the depths of the disaster this will be. This is a legal apocalypse for software.
