Winamp deletes entire GitHub source code repo after a rocky few weeks
Winamp released its source code with a license that drew a lot of attention. That’s when other apps’ code was found inside.

Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.
It's fantastic.
Unsurprising given that their repo's license was a contradictory mess
Anyways I'd recommend using Strawberry instead
It's an actual Free and Open Source music player:
I think I tried Winamp back in the day but never really understood it.
One has to admit it's good that they released the source code (while it was available) so users can learn what their software is actually doing on their computer. Better for yourself as a dev too: you will probably avoid including other people's work in yours. However, wanting contributions while retaining the exclusive right to distribute the software is anti-collaborative. I'm reluctant to say it might as well be proprietary again but since it doesn't meet the standard of software freedom then it's equally not worth trying on my computer.
kicked by the llamas ass
I am proud to be one of the 2.6k people who illegally forked winamp
Milkdrop is in Kodi these days, so my winamp love affair is more nostalgic than anything real
