Funniest bit:

"Forking is not allowed" vs. "Contributions encouraged"

On GitHub, that requires a fork however 🤔

or do they want us to use git send-email?

@pixel i think they mean making derived software, not github forks.

Our friends at Winamp do not seem to know git that much, do they?

Lection, the effectiveness of a "Remove closed source code" commit:

Jef is hard at work trying to remove the SHOUTcast code from the repository

after merging it back in again...

@pixel Oh dear... I really hope they're at least *considering* taking the entire thing offline while they're working out all the licensing kinks.

@lunacb Now that's evidence of a high-quality review process if I ever saw it!

@pixel :comfypopcorn: The issues just keep getting better. It seems like they also have some Dolby stuff in there, like proprietary stuff.... Oh boy.

Winamp, it really whips the authority of their executables.

They accidentally pushed all codesigning stuff, including signature passwords into the repo as well :blobcatnotlikethis:

Actually, I am highly doubting *accidental* at this point, but the poor employee who just remembered that Winamp wanted to release their code today just went and slapped EVERYTHING into git.

I'm a bit in a rollercoaster of emotions of thinking this is catastrophic and catastrophically hilarious.

@pixel Wow... that's wild... especially Winamp's License and all the closed source code... :blobcatsweat:
*grabs a clone while it's still online* 755 MB... :blobcateyes:
*goes searching for the blobs*

@pixel
Github uses "fork" in a different way than basically anyone else.

For example, fork doesn't even exist in git terminology, a github "fork" most closely corresponds to a git repository.

@pixel I think this is a terminology problem, when they say forking they must mean a separately maintained version, not a github fork.

@porglezomp it most likely is, but that's what is written in their license.

As mentioned above, probably nothing a software/publishing lawyer looked over.
