MODERATORS
They are nuts. Their license means that you give up all of your authorship rights to the code you contribute, and on top of that you’re not allowed to distribute modified source, nor can you fork the source for any purpose.
Edit: lol
So many forks, lol.
Winamp go fork yourself!
It really forks the llamas ass!
Does that actually matter?
I'm asking because license stuff is over my head, but I'd like to learn about it more.
They basically want free labor.
That's the oss model.
I love GitHub drama.
Anyone know if the Dolby code leak is going to lead to anything interesting, or had this code been leaked before? And how fucked are the Winamp folks?
Context:
https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/17
Confidential Dolby code was pushed, though just some headers files.
And then they just push a new commit without the files, completely unaware that git keeps all versions of the code? I feel like this repo is going to disappear.
The open source community is really showing itself from the best side by harassing the devs of that repo. I'm sure the devs don't regret publishing the code...
Sure, the license isn't the best, but that's no way to act. With such childish behaviour from contributors, I'd have just taken the code down again. Bunch of children.
The license isn't the best? That license sucks. Probably one of the worst on Github.
