Nathan A. Stine@nixCraft really good of them to do it but the choice of license is bewildering.
𝔱.𝔥.@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@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.
@parke @trzyglow @stinerman @nixCraft I've migrated to MusicBee on PC and on my phone I'm using AIMP.
Mateusz Turczynowicz@stinerman @nixCraft very likely it is a compromise with old authors not willing to make it FOSS.
shaunLlamas, asses, and whipping, oh my!
Austin Godber@nixCraft I’ve been waiting like twenty years for this, I mean damn, at this point I’ve waited so long I’ve switched to vinyl

@nixCraft That license must be a joke right?
Seb-Solon@nixCraft
And it's a shit show. People are mad (understandably) at the License and the issue list is telling.

Ceremus@nixCraft But not open source and basically worthless to anyone not interested in, like, giving free labor to Winamp.
Chip35@nixCraft Neat! Unfortunately it requires too many Microsoft products like DirectX, It could be really painful to convert to Linux.

Acvaristul Lenes@nixCraft I was hoping it will come to Linux. Then I read the license...
Wyatt (🏳️⚧️♀?)@nixCraft sure just ignore that the license doesn't allow sharing changes

What a shitshow oO from the license choice to the inclusion of copyrighted code from third parties this was neither planned nor executed well 🫣

🇷🇺 cyberwolf 🐧@nixCraft github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/11 They published the source code of the Winamp player, they first posted their certificate for signing applications for 10 thousand dollars, and then the shoutcast server, in a word, professionalism. #proxmox
Pierro se fait rosser@nixCraft we are now free to whip the lama's ass !
Dutch Investor@nixCraft Oh nice. I found my old MP3 backups just yesterday because of too many online ads. Can't wait for my kids to listen to music without paying money to enshittified platforms.
Freevolt@nixCraft I feel that companies open their source when there is no hope to make it relevant again.
@freevolt24 @nixCraft They'd make it fully open and free and let people evolve it.
jonas@nixCraft it really used to whip the llama’s ass
