Your scenario is different, and any case law that can be applied is unknown because we don't know all the details about what is going on in your situation. | |

| Mar 22, 2017 at 17:47 | comment | added | Patrick Roberts | @whatsisname counter-point in case. This is just as generalized as my question, and there's a perfectly good answer for it. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 17:45 | comment | added | whatsisname | Well you're at an impasse then because the specifics are what matters. We can't answer it for you. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 17:40 | comment | added | Patrick Roberts | I would be more specific, but I don't want to turn this question into a shaming post, since I am only seeking clarification on the matter. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 17:36 | comment | added | Patrick Roberts | @whatsisname The API calls are the same, the implementations of the API calls use the same algorithms, and the only thing changed was how data was initialized in the program, and that an external library was added to change the "flavor" of the algorithms that were re-used. Is that specific enough? | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 17:32 | comment | added | whatsisname | The elements of how you used it as a reference are critical to whether your work is a derivative work, but there aren't any useful broad rules you can apply to reliably make your determination, so therefore this is off topic. | |
