Lol, what? You still have copyright over software you write regardless of how this case goes. It's whether you can shut down other people's works just for being compatible with yours that's at stake.

"Just for being compatible" is disingenuous at best.

Ask yourself, "Why did they copy the Java API? Why didn't they use Python or Go or Dart?" They invented Dart after all.

Golang and Dart didn't exist at the time. And Google knows all too well how large Python projects break down, that's why they made Golang.
