Didn't the Google - Oracle case about Java APIs in Android https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_.... directly disprove this?

In the end, the supreme court case decided that the re-implementation fell under fair use, it did not answer the copyright question.

The courts decided that wasn’t true for IBM, Java and many other cases. API typography describes functionality, which isn’t copyrightable (IANAL).

Wasn't Oracle vs Google about all of that?
