Hi Thufir,
My understanding is, and I know Luke disagrees violently,
I doubt he's the only one; perhaps the others, like me, just can't be
bothered to entertain that an API can be copyrighted, and calling it an
SSO doesn't make it any more sensible.
is that SSO is a *useful* shorthand for API.
No shorthand is needed. They are distinct concepts. Both three letters
long. :-)
Maybe this is already clear, but perhaps on should stress that API =
"Interface specification or template" and SSO (in this case) =
"copyrightable code" that implements the API.
Cheers, Ralph.
