It's not clear that Github's ToS can do such a thing, is it? What gives them the right to overrule the license from Winamp to me?
A repo's license doesn't overrule GitHub's policy.

The Github ToS gives users the right to fork any public repos.
So someone steals my source code and posts it on GitHub, now i no longer have copyright rights? The duty is on the copier to ensure they are granted a license.
I remember hanging out in #mpeg3 on EFNet many many years ago and becoming an acquaintance of Justin Frankel while he was working on this. I had made a skin and even a few tray icons for him to use in the app, and some of them are in here. I can't remember 100% which ones were mine, but the punchlabel one definitely was. My name is in the credits too: https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/blob/0695744fd658c42...

Is the ToS a contract? Even if it is would the remedy to Winamp breaking it be modifying the license Winamp provides?
The only music player that wasn't annoying. Just did its job with a streamlined interface, without the clutter and clunky graphics that competitors thought was the way to go.
> without the clutter and clunky graphics Wasnt one of the fun things with that player putting random skins on it? Or am I thinking of a different one?

They expect people to simply ignore the license. And most people will. And they won't set their lawyers on any contributors. And the world will go on.
That’s not good enough. You can’t put out an open source project and expect to control the community around it to that degree.

Yep, I still use XMMS. There is also qmmp[1] for a Qt based player. And I think Audacious[2] still has a classic winamp interface, although it's not the default anymore. [1] https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ [2] https://audacious-media-player.org/
Just curious, but on which OS are you running XMMS on?
It's not installed by default, but it's in the repos.
You know what source code I'd like to see? ICQ and MSN and/or Windows Messenger.

Yes, but the skins didn't rearrange anything (as opposed to some other players). It was just a different "texture". See: https://skins.webamp.org/

Because Winamp agreed to the ToS of GitHub by uploading their code to GitHub.
Doesn't that just mean that Github should be mad at them? Doesn't seem obvious that it actually gives me a license to do anything.
TOS are not just fluff and paper, but legally binding. Granted, when there is a conflict between two conflicting requirements, it's never clear cut, but it's not just "GitHub will be mad."
