Hi, I'm following the trial between Oracle vs Google and wondered about the following... Judge Alsup told the jury to assume API's are copyrightable - something Alsup still has to determine later during trial. Now if he does rule that API's are copyrightable, how will this affect the Lazarus and Free Pascal projects? Both the latter projects copy Embarcadero's API's verbatim.
