Wine project and Oracle google trail over aoi copyright

Wine is a project that allow user to run windows apps on linux os.
It does that by reimplementation of the windows api.

However Oracle claim that API are copyrightable able and sue google for reimplementation of Java api.

If they win, then wine project will be in the same problem.

microsoft could claim that they have copyright over the windows API, and that therefore this project violate their copyright by reimplement their windows API.

Other open source project will be hurt as well.

In fact any open source project that reimplement a proprietary software will become illegal, not only wine.
Theoretically microsoft will be able to shutdown mono as well.

Linus itself was reimplementation of unix api.

What are the open source organizations are doing to stop this madness?

NAME
XML::Atom::Client - A client for the Atom API SYNOPSIS
use XML::Atom::Client; use XML::Atom::Entry; my $api = XML::Atom::Client->new; $api->username('Melody'); $api->password('Nelson'); my $entry = XML::Atom::Entry->new; $entry->title('New Post'); $entry->content('Content of my post.'); my $EditURI = $api->createEntry($PostURI, $entry); my $feed = $api->getFeed($FeedURI); my @entries = $feed->entries; my $entry = $api->getEntry($EditURI); DESCRIPTION
XML::Atom::Client implements a client for the Atom API described at http://bitworking.org/projects/atom/draft-gregorio-09.html, with the authentication scheme described at http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/DifferentlyAbledClients. NOTE: the API, and particularly the authentication scheme, are still in flux. USAGE
XML::Atom::Client->new(%param) $api->use_soap([ 0 | 1 ]) XML::Atom::Client supports both the REST and SOAP-wrapper versions of the Atom API. By default, the REST version of the API will be used, but you can turn on the SOAP wrapper--for example, if you need to connect to a server that supports only the SOAP wrapper--by calling use_soap with a value of 1: $api->use_soap(1); If called without arguments, returns the current value of the flag. $api->username([ $username ]) If called with an argument, sets the username for login to $username. Returns the current username that will be used when logging in to the Atom server. $api->password([ $password ]) If called with an argument, sets the password for login to $password. Returns the current password that will be used when logging in to the Atom server. $api->createEntry($PostURI, $entry) Creates a new entry. $entry must be an XML::Atom::Entry object. $api->getEntry($EditURI) Retrieves the entry with the given URL $EditURI. Returns an XML::Atom::Entry object. $api->updateEntry($EditURI, $entry) Updates the entry at URL $EditURI with the entry $entry, which must be an XML::Atom::Entry object. Returns true on success, false otherwise. $api->deleteEntry($EditURI) Deletes the entry at URL $EditURI. $api->getFeed($FeedURI) Retrieves the feed at $FeedURI. Returns an XML::Atom::Feed object representing the feed returned from the server. ERROR HANDLING Methods return "undef" on error, and the error message can be retrieved using the errstr method.
