If you want a good insight on the issue of legal implications of
creating derivative/non-derivative works with functionality that is

vs. Linux lawsuit, the arguments around the issue are very relevant to
your question.
For what it's worth, you could even try to revamp the old AT&T claim
against BSD.
Here is where you might want to start:

P.S. If you don't know already: SCO is the company that now has more
lawyers than it has hackers.
Thanks. That's exactly what I try to avoid. Who has time to read the
world encyclopedia and in the end, who really understand lawyers anyway.
They argue where the ',' is in the text as it change the meaning. I
already have problem with my English as is without trying to understand
lawyers.
But many thanks for your suggestions I do appreciate it very much. I
only know this, when it comes down to practical things, lawyers have
nothing to do with it. So, it won't help me much I think.
