Here's a question: The ruling found that APIs form a substantive body of work, similar to something like a play. However, if I took a play and used a computer to detect the sentence boundaries based on punctuation and randomly permuted the sentences, then wrote a book about what happened when I said random subsets of those sentences in random order to a set of undergrads, I'd be considered to be doing derivative work, even if I listed every sentence of the original work, as long as I substantially commented on each sentence in the context of my experiment. In the context of APIs, isn't it possible to automate the performance of this experiment and writing of subsequent report?
