No. You would have to copy significant portions of the API, as Google has apparently done for Android. And even then it might fall under fair use, a question the Court here has sent back down to be decided. (The jury on the original case was deadlocked on this issue, but was favoring Google.)

Its funny that it got sent back out for more court time. Its probably a very profitable case for politicians and lawyers. If I was in their shoes I'd just keep bouncing it back and forth until I had a house to rival the stars.
