What you should really worry about is who owns the C language API (Nokia Bell Labs probably???)

You see, in the US, derivative works are a thing. All languages that derive their APIs and perhaps even syntax from C would be derivatives. There's interesting legal arguments to be had there if APIs are ruled to be copyrightable....
