Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.

    IMHO, it sounds like it’ll be “Source Available.” Especially

    Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version.

        If they chose an open source license, a fork under a different name would be possible (else it’s not open source).

        Their wording is ambiguous, so maybe they only talk about keeping the name/trademark to themselves, which is definitely a good choice.

        It’s also not clear if they accept contributions, but they’ll likely keep deciding what features should get added or not.

        At least that’s how I understand it.
