I wonder if Jensen is scared. If this opens up the door to other implementations this could be a real threat to Nvidia. CUDA on AMD, CUDA on Intel, etc. Might we see actual competition?

I think this is the other way around. It won't be cuda on anything except for nvidia.

However, this might make mlx into a much stronger competitor for Pytorch.

If you implement compatible apis, are you prohibited from calling it cuda?

I'm sure I saw this lawsuit somewhere ...

The gist is the API specification in itself is copyright, so it is copyright infringement then.
