But as soon as you use other code from the project, other than the interface, it would be considered derivative work?
That’s a legal concept, and IANAL. But I would assume so.
That is the point where fair-use/fair-dealing concepts could come into play.
Yes, it will be interesting to see follow-up lawsuits involving GPL projects and what is then being judged derivative or fair-use.
