there is hope that the decision in Oracle vs Google[0] on API's not being copyrightable might change that

I think zw meant that the Cocoa binaries can't be distributed with Darling. That's not a major problem for users that have a copy of OS X. Darling can allow users to supply their own.

The potential issue you refer to would also prevent implementing the Cocoa API with Qt.
