The legal system don't work that way.

That ToS is between wimamp and GitHub, not you.

You have to do the due diligence to get the permission from winamp.

You might be able to get away by suing GitHub and have them sue winamp. ..

Is the ToS a contract? Even if it is would the remedy to Winamp breaking it be modifying the license Winamp provides?

Yes, every ToS is a contract. As for the most appropriate remedy, that's for a court to decide.
