What makes you think that interfaces Graph, Vertex and Edge are
protected elements, Tassilo?

Which is utterly irrelevant in the copyright context unless derived
classes' *source code* contains protected elements copied from abstract
base implementations of Graph, Vertex and Edge.

Simply put, OOP term "derive from" doesn't equate to copyright term
"derivative work".

Got it now, Tassilo?
