AFAIK regarding API there is almost similar precedence which do not
favor "using API makes it GPL" position:

So "standard API" is not GPL'ed at least in some court. How standard
is Plone API?

SCO also claimed Linux breaches copyright because it had similar C
header files... didn't work out. It was standard API.

I belive the orignality of Plone API is not court tested, so saying
"Plone add-ons must be GPL"  is a little misleading statement. Using a
common sense, I really don't see how few import statements would be so
special that they count as a creative work.
