Doesn't this open the floodgates for other delegates?

Only affects state laws on the issue, not RNC rules. According to the article, 20 states have laws binding the vote of a pledged (primary) delegate, and those laws are what are in jeopardy, though not necessarily invalidated by this limited ruling.
The RNC can nullify all this on the convention floor before the vote by simply changing their rules to say that pledged delegate votes are bound. The state laws, however, make it so RNC rule changes cannot necessarily make it so pledged delegate votes are suddenly unbound, at least for some of the states, subject to other courts' findings should they be challenged (which knowing Trump they obviously will be, even if Trump wins anyway).

Trump should fight in the courts over delegates or else they'll take the nomination right from under him...

Even if they do take the nomination right from under him then who will they nominate? Ted Cruz? Some other already discarded candidate?
