This is completely and totally wrong, FWIW. The federal circuit ruling was that apis are copyrightable, so ....

Google won on fair use.

Then the microG developer just has to move to the EU, where APIs aren’t copyrightable, even if closed, and you have the right to reverse engineer existing software for interoperability with your own software, or for third-party reimplementations.
