This might be a dumb question but is Winamp still FOSS?

As far as I know the WCL isn't known as being an OSI approved license

It was never Foss

It's now source available

Looking online it looks like everyone's dunking on this half-assed attempt of..something🤔

No, it's licence violates, well, pretty much the entire open source definition

People still use winamp? Is there nothing better out there? I didn't understand a word of what's going on in that issue, honestly. You aren't allowed to fork? Didn't know you could fork code. Can you also spoon it or knife it? Maybe cut, slice and dice it?

I like to use it on my 4k monitor, the super tiny buttons make me super nostalgic
