What makes them copyrightable? I'm not talking about macros and inline
functions in the header, just the FACT that there is a function called
"foo" which takes some parameters and returns some type, or for the link
table, the fact that a symbol exists by the name "foo" at all. No more
copyrightable than a phone book.
