Funny, the latest commit is "Removing code which is not open"[0], which means they are infringing on someone else's licensing terms by keeping it in the git history.

llama group / "winamp" don't own shoutcast anymore as that was all sold off a year or so ago to azerion as part of changing audiovalley into llama group.

The history section just above the prior properties section is what's now the case with winamp & shoutcast under unrelated organisations nowadays. Though it's all a bit murky as radionomy & audiovalley were the same top people.

Don't be discouraged by hn folk, people like to think this is better than reddit but we have our own brand of toxic here, if you want to sign your comments go ahead

I don't have a problem with it but didn't see the reason. Was I toxic?
Re:Winamp Legacy player source code by thedoctor_o on Wednesday September 25, 2024 @06:27AM (#41645773)
I didn't see anything wrong with asking about it & I as don't really use HN I'm not sure of what the expectations, etc are on here. So imho its all good from my view point.

Is there a copy of the original repository available anywhere?

I wonder if it can even build.
