Yesterday, the Winamp source code, build tools, and associated libraries for the Windows app were published on GitHub, allowing anyone to provide bug fixes and new features to the iconic media player.

However, its license prohibits the distribution of modified software created through the release of this source code.

    thank you, good post. I was going to make a sassy comment about Winamp being “source-available” (derogatory) but it’s helpful to have you explain this instead, appreciate it. (I am a software dev, but I struggle with licenses etc.)
