I think we should all feel a bit humbled in our arm chair lawyering today. Why would an API receive copyright protection?
So who is to say that wrapping a hardware timer isn't a creative act? Or consider the work of art that is ktime untion (returned by both the original and dtrace's version of the function): http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/ktime.h#L46
Put that in a frame and sell it at an art gallery I say, I felt inspired by the seconds going before nanoseconds for big endian platforms. Truly a metaphor for life itself.
