No. If one wanted to write a clean-room implementation of
WebObjects' APIs, that is exactly what the decision in 2014 spoke
to. So, for those of us in the US, that decision said we could not
implement something which implemented the APIs.

Now it seems much clearer that, yes the APIs can be copyrighted
but implementing an API can be a fair use of the API.

Looking at de-compiled source isn’t “clean”. :P
