@nixCraft really good of them to do it but the choice of license is bewildering.

@stinerman @nixCraft when they announced that it will be open sourced, they didn't claim it would be foss.
so the source code being released under a proprietary license shouldn't really be surprising.

@rejzor idrk what goes on inside those people's heads; free labour, i guess...

edit:
just to be clear: i totally agree with you on this.

@trzyglow Yeah, I think they just want ppl to make free contribution and they want to still fully own it and control it.

@rejzor @trzyglow @stinerman @nixCraft nullsoft wants free labor. That's the point. With that said, and this is something I've never said since starting to use winamp in the late 90's:

Fuck winamp.
