Header files should not be copyrightable? Really? Function prototypes, perhaps, but you do realise that some headers can contain really quite a lot of actual code? (Look at the libstdc++ headers sometime, or the obstack headers, or, hell, bits/*inline*.h from your installed glibc. If *that* isn't copyrightable, *no* code is copyrightable.)

Complex header files (a-la Boost header-only libraries), of course, are copyrightable.

Header files shouldn't be copyrightable when they contain no functionality or only trivial functionality.
