Hmmm...consider the Wine project: a re-implementation of Microsoft DLL's (among other things) using no Microsoft code. No code means no headers as well--anything less would be copyright infringement. Does this mean that as long as a developer writes their own headers, they can link anything they want to against a GPLed .so file without infringing on the GPL? .
