@Pepyri_ because in the Federal Cir’s view, interoperability is not relevant to whether it’s copyrightable, though it might be for fair use

@Pepyri_ Some have said it was a “stretch” to find APIs uncopyrightable under 9th Circuit law: http://madisonian.net/2014/05/09/oracle-v-google-reversed-framing-matters/ …

@Pepyri_ and others have suggested that the Fed Cir just didn’t understand what an API is, and how it differs from software

@Pepyri_ still others have complained that the Fed Cir misinterpreted both 9th and 1st Cir cases on interoperability

@Pepyri_ lol at this tweetstorm

@sarahjeong for even something as small as an API wrapper. No idea their knowledge/experience level in this stuff though.

@Pepyri_ That may be the case. It’s a garbage decision and I’m very worried about how it’ll do in appeals.

@sarahjeong Jesus. The level of catostrophic that would be is nuts. Hell, I would've violated it in my FIRST YEAR as a developer
