If Oracle wins the Supreme Court case against Google, aren't all these "like S3" or S3 API compatible solutions (whether block storage competitors or file systems) at risk?
On the other hand, SeaweedFS is has no API access fees and faster than S3 with your own hardware. Not sure what Amazon may do.

It is Google's own version of J++ that needs to be taken care of.
This is one of the biggest problems with Java, it’s free but not open source (Eric Raymond has been fighting this for a while now that free does not mean open source). Oracle can come after anyone using Java if there is substantial money to be made.
So Java is only free as long as money keeps coming in for Oracle, once it dries like for SCO, they will go after anyone using Java API to extract money.
Also this shows subtle difference between open source and free. In a legitimate open source licensed software copyright and right to change is granted and company cannot sue others just based on copyright like Oracle can sue anyone using Java API.
I was specifically implying block storage solutions that offer S3 API combability (i.e. use our AWS S3 competitor with matching S3 API).
