Yes, it will be interesting to see follow-up lawsuits involving GPL projects and what is then being judged derivative or fair-use.
I should jolly bloody well hope not. The only “follow-up lawsuits” I want to see are against Oracle for using other people’s APIs, where I expect it to argue the exact opposite of what it’s been saying in this case.
Whereupon the verdict that APIs can be copyrighted would, hopefully, be overturned.
