#winamp


Today, the source code of #Winamp was officially released. But beware, it is #FakeFOSS, as it uses a custom licence and not a standard FOSS licence. The licence states:

5. Restrictions

No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.
Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.

And then they have the gall to call it a free copyleft licence. WTF?


Huh, so #Winamp is gonna open up the source: https://about.winamp.com/press/article/winamp-open-source-code


@Hypolite Petovan I have setup a local #Apache and added an entry to /etc/hosts to point to my local machine. Then in a /etc/apache2/sites-available/friendica.conf I setup a virtual host on that host name and even setup a self-signed SSL certificate so I can run #Friendica locally. To be able to receive mails locally, as I have #Linux running here, I had to a bit patch Friendica to disable a regex check on the entered email address. Now when I want to locally federate with e.g. #GNUSocial I just have to repeat above steps and I remember I was able to setup "remote" follow between these two local instances. For Windows users, there is #WinAMP around for a very long time, including #Mercury mail server so you could be able to repeat it even on Windows.


#Winamp is looking for beta testers
