There are a lot of, startnig with IceCast long ago made clone.

Including FaceBook and MySpace

Including free music servers like http://www.jamendo.com/

===== http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html =====
We want to emphasise the fact that features like SHOUTcast or icecast  
browsing are now doable using our new extension framework and you will  
find user-contributed extensions on http://addons.videolan.org/
=====

I'd like to emphasize that no such server exists :-/


PS: i'd like to say that www.aimp.ru player plays fine with both IceCast  
and ShoutCast
I guess it directly uses web-site rather than some specific API. So no  
strange licenses affect it.


PPS:
=== ShoutCast license ===
contain any material, product or services that violate or encourage  
conduct that
would  violate  any  criminal  laws,  any  other  laws,  or  any  third   
party  rights;
=========================

I wonder what is H.264 patents compatibility of VLC among different  
countries.
I wonder how VLC's streaming of media into LAN resembles "encourage  
conduct that  would  violate  any other  laws"

I guess afterall VLC would have to remove half of its functionality  
including H.264 support, otherwise it would still be incompatible even if  
bound with AOL Toolbar spyware.
