I am looking at writing a piece of IDL and a header file I am 
wrestling with how to do it without infringing copyright.  IDL looks 
particularly hard to write from first principles and is probably hard 
to write in a different way as the functions being implemented are 
defined and require IDL similar code.  Is there any advice as to what 
type of code can be copied and what constitutes a rewrite to avoid 
copyright?

Obviously, the function names and parameter order and types have to be 
the same. The function attributes also have to be the same. However, the 
order of attributes, indentation and the parameter names can be different.
