   The Winamp source code is here!

   (and it has a horrendous license that people are rightfully complaining about already)

     @pixel i think they mean making derived software, not github forks.

     Funniest bit:

     "Forking is not allowed" vs. "Contributions encouraged"

     On GitHub, that requires a fork however 🤔

     or do they want us to use git send-email?

     So far:
     * License was probably not lawyered, so it contradicts itself a lot, even though they probably meant "redistributions need to drop all branding and attachment to Winamp" which is fair
     * The license violates GitHub terms of service, because the ToS grant the right to fork for every public repository
     * The source includes commercial or non-distributable libraries
     * SHOUTcast server side code is included in the repo (lol???)

     @pesekcuy @pixel given the total lack of commit history and especially that Winamp predates not just Git but even Subversion (yes!), I'm actually curious what their original version control system is.

     Winamp, it really whips the authority of their executables.

     They accidentally pushed all codesigning stuff, including signature passwords into the repo as well :blobcatnotlikethis:

     Our friends at Winamp do not seem to know git that much, do they?
