I think you must somehow be massively misreading what I said.
Perhaps
you thought I'd expressed a view about using an API (somehow)
creating a
derivative work? I didn't say anything of the sort.<br>

It's regarding your statement:<br>

copyright law.
In particular, it cases none on what suffices to create a new work
and
what is a derivative work.<br>

The point is that there's not <i>anything else</i> in that body of
law that would make the proposed work derivative.<br>
