I don’t even understand why anyone cares about winamp anymore. Or how the company figured people should be happy to work for free on it without it being open source.
LOL. Those 3 weeks must have been really exciting at Llama Group. I can only imagine how the conversion went when the engineers tried to explain what FOSS means and the CEO understood none of it.
They really just tried to get free labour.
They wanted free labor but own the changes.
They could have gotten free labor if they used a standard license like GPL or even MIT.
But nope. They were greedy.
I thought I read elsewhere there were some GPL 2 parts in there too, I guess not.
I tried to find a source for this more credible than “I remember reading it on Lemmy” but couldn’t, now that the repo is deleted nobody can confirm. Perhaps some forks still exist… 🤔
Perhaps some forks still exist…
No, that’s impossible, because they didn’t allow it 😭
According to the article they did allow it. They got rid of that clause in a license update, just didn’t allow you to modify your fork lol
