Winamp is going open source, and it feels like the early 2000s again (www.xda-developers.com)

This is bullshit.

Until I see an OSI approved license, it's not open source.

I am so sick of these rubbish licensing efforts calling themselves Open Souce. Fair code is a new atrocity.

There is no repository link. There is no open source code.

The Winamp announcement linked to in the article never says "Open source", that's the article writer not understanding the difference.

Tbf,

opening up its source code to enable collaborative development

sounds already close to open-source, though it isn't necessarily, as the licence that is used matters.

I went to the mall today and it felt like the early 2000s again

Why did they wait so long

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They just want to get profit from the purchase but they are no longer competitive.

Looks like they are looking for suckers to contribute to their code base for free without even making it actually open source.

IMO at this point WinAmp does not offer anything beyond name recognition and nostalgia. Isn't qmmp essentially an open source version of WinAmp?

Even as nostalgia, I just tried out loading a winamp skin from the winamp skin museum someone linked further up with qmmp and it handles that just fine too. So I'll be just using that going forward.

The sad thing about this is that 90% of the skins available for WinAmp since then are gone. You can't find them to download them anymore.

There is Winamp skin museum - https://skins.webamp.org/
