IANAL, but I'm not sure if Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc upstream refers to
is directly applicable here. It was about fair use of the APIs, but here we
have files with API description clearly authored by someone. In my mind the
difference is like between POSIX APIs and corresponding glibc header files.
If it works though, it works in the US which should be sufficient for Fedora.

I have no technical issues with the package.
As discussed on IRC, blocking FE-Legal to clarify the .witx licensing before
approving.
