It doesn't say what license they are going to use, so it may not be open source. The wording is very weaselly.

This is news from September and linked blog post from December. Nothing happened.

Winamp has announced that on 24 September 2024, the application's source code will be open to developers worldwide.

Good find, I honestly didn't notice that this was from Dec 2023.

it shows "Dec 16, 1" when I open the link, but the first time I saw someone post it, the date on the screenshot said "May 16, 2024 - 08:30 CEST": https://social.treehouse.systems/@amie/112452636130622939
