What about header files? API is mostly defined in header files and it
is inevitable that header files would look similiar from implementation
to implementation. Is it possible if, suppose i'm developing my own
another OpenStep impl., I legally copy apple's header file and modify
them?
It is certainly illegal if i declare the fact that I copied apple's
header files but what is the guideline to determine wether it is a copy
of their product or not?
I was always curious about this. some wine emulator's header files look
same with MSVC's.
