> Then, the question is whether these choices of where to put the parameter reflect any creativity. Interesting. This argument seems to imply that languages are copyrightable based upon creativity in ordering, punctuation, use of certain expressions such as `&`, etc. How is that different from your example? In fact a computer language itself is nothing but an API to a human-readable specification for machine behavior. I can see the specification being a creative work and hence being patentable. I don't see the same for the API code. I'll have to think more about it. I can't offer a more substantive counter-argument now.
