Without warning, WinAmp deleted its entire GitHub repository, effectively ending the whole story around open-sourcing the music player code.

    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 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… 🤔

      No, that’s impossible, because they didn’t allow it 😭
