#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
The GitHub ToS is not a software license. It is the terms for using the GitHub service. The penalty for breaking it is that your GitHub services might be terminated, not that they can somehow relicense your software.
This part of the ToS explicitly does grant such a license to other GitHub users. > If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking).
As written, this says that you can fork a repo but can’t then clone it and work on it on your own machine. Isn’t software licensing fun?

#113Open sourcing is always good, because maybe you can learn some things by reading it. Also, Winamp Legacy is a fairly important piece of software, so having an archive of its source is a great thing. But the restrictions on the source are interesting.

> No Forking Amusing; there are already 6 forks on GitHub as of this writing.
Now 52 forks on GitHub. Thug life.

The person who set the license is also accepting PR's from forks.

This seems to go against GitHub's own ToS[1]: > By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

There is no conflict here. The quote from Github's ToS means you allow others to copy the source code you've made public, it cannot and does not give you any rights regarding what you do with the code beyond that. Points one and two of the Winamp license quote are essentially one and the same, just worded in a different way for clarity.

#116"We take DirectX 9 SDK (June 2010) from Microsoft, modify it and pack to archive. Run unpack_microsoft_directx_sdk_2010.cmd to unpack it." Nice. Wonder how long will this version work?
Windows executables mostly work forever. Especially if they were widely distributed. If Winamp is broken on Windows N+1, it's Windows that is broken. If Winamp is broken on Wine, it's Wine that is broken.
May have been true 20 years ago. But these days it is not hard to find a game which works in Wine but not Windows. And DirectX is often the reason.

Time to report it to GH then.

#118sorry but why does old winamp code still matter? there are plenty open source audio libraries these days along with different open source players.
Re: Winamp Legacy player source code
#119It's 2024. Was Winamp2 + plugin system just peak audio playback software?
>Was Winamp2 + plugin system just peak audio playback software?
Yes. You can tell it was peak too because later versions got worse instead of better.

Ianal but the license also prohibits fair use cases, which probably might circumvent the granted license.
