I think it depends. Here's a clause from the Boost license page:
"Does the copyright and license cover interfaces too? The conceptual
interface to a library isn't covered. The particular representation
expressed in the header is covered, as is the documentation, examples,
test programs, and all the other material that goes with the library. A
different implementation is free to use the same logical interface,
however. Interface issues have been fought out in court several times;
ask a lawyer for details."
The interface is the declarations, so I think we're saying the same thing.
