From my humble readings its all or nothing, there is no mention of something along this spirit. Yes lawyers are parasites and love these squabbles - but why should a class w/ 3 lines get protection but a interface(api definitions only) with 3 lines not. Of course we all hate this nonsense, but to be fair if copyright/licensing etc applies to one it should apply to another.
