Totally ignorant legal question: do you need it? I thought Microsoft vs. Apple established that you can't copyright the "look-and-feel" of a user interface. Can you copyright the "look-and-feel" of an API? My understanding is that copyright protects the specific realization of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Can something realized in C++ be considered a "copy" of Java code for legal purposes? Cheers, Alan.
