Headers are merely input-output specifications. Record definitions,
external interface specifications.  

Such things were never meant to be (and are not claimed to be) proprietary.  
How would you call a kernel function without specifications pray tell?

If you can't call a kernel function/method, then how could you use
the kernel at all? By your definitions, any proprietary software designed
to run on linux would be illegal to run on linux.
