The API is less like the blueprints and more like the building code. This is perhaps a bad example as many building codes are copyrighted, but a lot of people find this as absurd as copywriting an API.

Building codes being copyrighted is fine. But if I want to make my own building code, but have all existing builders be able to easily transition, then I must necessirily be making a copy.
