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
Libravatar::URL - Make URLs for Libravatars from an email address SYNOPSIS
use Libravatar::URL; my $url = libravatar_url( email => 'larry@example.org' ); DESCRIPTION
See <http://www.libravatar.org> for more information. Functions libravatar_url # By email my $url = libravatar_url( email => $email, %options ); # By OpenID my $url = libravatar_url( openid => $openid, %options ); Constructs a URL to fetch the Libravatar for the given $email address or $openid URL. %options are optional. "libravatar_url" will accept all the options of "gravatar_url" in Gravatar::URL except for "rating" and "border". The available options are... size Specifies the desired width and height of the avatar (they are square). Valid values are from 1 to 512 inclusive. Any size other than 80 may cause the original image to be downsampled using bicubic resampling before output. size => 40, # 40 x 40 image default The url to use if the user has no avatar. default => "http://www.example.org/nobody.jpg" Relative URLs will be relative to the base (ie. libravatar.org), not your web site. Libravatar defines special values that you may use as a default to produce dynamic default images. These are "identicon", "monsterid", "wavatar" and "retro". "404" will cause the URL to return an HTTP 404 "Not Found" error instead and "mm" will display the same "mystery man" image for everybody. See <http://www.libravatar.org/api> for more info. If omitted, Libravatar will serve up their default image, the orange butterfly. base This is the URL of the location of the Libravatar server you wish to grab avatars from. Defaults to <http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTP and <https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTPS. short_keys If true, use short key names when constructing the URL. "s" instead of "size", "d" instead of "default" and so on. short_keys defaults to true. https If true, serve avatars over HTTPS instead of HTTP. You should select this option if your site is served over HTTPS to avoid browser warnings about the presence of insecure content. https defaults to false. LICENSE
