      > Less than a month later, that repository has been entirely deleted, after it either bumped up against or broke its strange hodgepodge of code licenses, seemingly revealed the source code for other non-open software packages, and made a pretty bad impression on the open-source community.

      Open-sourcing a project (especially those that use external packages) is a pretty annoying process. It’s a lot more complicated than just…releasing the code, which the Winamp team basically did.

      Damn, TIL winamp doesn’t whoop the lamas ass anymore like the days of old.

      Winamp… Well that’s a name I haven’t heard for a long, long time.

      Isn’t there already an open source clone for Linux?

      I’ve tried going back to winamp a couple of times but UX design has moved on a lot from those days

      The “write code for us but only we can benefit” license. Wonder how this will pan out for them.

      im still rocking winamp 2.5.

      it was all downhill with whatever versions after that.
