Breaking News - API's are copyrightable
- angersock 13y agoOh god damn it. Does anyone here work for Oracle? What's your opinion of this? Why don't you strike?
- josephlord 13y agoI actually don't think that this is wrong. A complex API is a creative expressive work. Now there might be a good fair use argument allowing copying of API's for compatibility but that is a separate issue. Note that I don't like Oracle but if you imagine the same facts with the protagonists being old Sun and MS instead of Oracle and Google would you still be cheering for the MS side?
