I’m pretty sure copyright office has settled that already. Inly human expression can be copyrighted:

The United States Copyright office. There's a whole world outside the US.

And even then they can change their mind.

Does not hurt to backstop with an explicit license.

Using a harness to build something should clear that barrier, by the same logic that a photographer pointing on camera at something and pressing a button clears the barrier.
