[T]hat would be like being able to copyright ... how books are organised on shelves in a Library
Probably not the best example to give, since the Dewey Decimal System is actually a copyrighted product(http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=11&ti=1,11&Search_Arg=OCLC&Search_Code=NALL&CNT=25&PID=a1c_oV24oYjDw_2TajcNrJL1eB09&SEQ=20150527171629&SID=2 http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=11&ti=1,11...). Similar to how the AMA has copyrighted the ICD codes.
I do wonder if using identical function names, but different argument names, would be sufficient to escape infringement.
