Are those even expressive enough to be copyrighted? Also the actutal
numeric values and preprocessor names can't be copyrighted because they are
information. Only the exact expression as written in a file can be
protected. Someone wishing to create a compatible work can normally copy
such values so long as they are required for interoperability, which they
of course would be. I'm not a lawyer so don't take any of that as legal
advice. I'm just saying this seems really, really weak.
