    This feels illegal. Like it’s probably not, but it should be.

      It probably is. In the EU APIs aren’t copyrightable in the first place, doubly so if it’s necessary for interoperability, in the US there’s Google vs. Oracle which declared Google’s use of Java APIs in Android fair use.

      That’s the neat thing about being in the American oligarchs class. If it’s illegal just make it legal.

      Feels like a fantastic base for an anti-trust case at the least.
