I do not know the exact particulars of the Oracle v Google case, but my impression was that the judge ruled that APIs could not be copyrighted, which does not necessarily reflect anything about the language itself. Even more tentatively, I do not think a programming language could be copyrighted, but I would want somebody else to answer that more authoritatively.

Either way, this license is actually about the implementation of Shen. So if you want to write your own compiler from scratch for the same language, you're free to do so. In fact, this is actually mentioned in the FAQ at the end of the license page. That said, beyond copyright, they also control the name "Shen". So you'd be free to implement a language that was mostly, but not completely, a clone of Shen, you would be free to (assuming you do not reuse any of their code), but could not actually call it "Shen".

Anyhow, my knowledge of the law is laughably incomplete and I am clearly not a lawyer, so take everything I've said with a grain of salt.
