No, I understand that. But I thought their previous stance (or at least many Automatticians stances) was that API calls are copyright protected. Everything I read at the time was in reference to the internal WordPress core API's, but I assumed the same would apply here.

I assumed they'd be extremely pro Oracle in this situation, but it seems I was quite wrong on that front.

EDIT: I think I got confused as to was replying to what, but my comment still applies, so I'll leave it here :)
