From the perspective of the person writing an implementation of the
API itself, you would have to write the headers that define the entry points,
and then you would have tio write the code that actually implements the
functions defined by the entry points.
Nope. You are conflating
the full implementation with its interface element.
API stands for
Application Programming Interface. This acronym refers only to the interface
part which is the contents of the header files. A full implementation needs both
the interface and the working code, but the full implementation is not the issue
of this lawsuit. Oracle is not claiming Google infringes on the working
code beneath the interface. The issue is whether the interface by itself is
copyrightable. This means just the header files are contentious, excluding the
working code.

And I mean the any alphabet - the working part of it not the font.
It would make written language impossible. If you include the sound it makes any
language impossible.
Do lawyers and other proponents of maximized copyright ever think?
