It’d doesn’t look like it will be open source as in github/gitlab open source. It looks like they are asking people to apply to work on it for free, as in source will be made available to those successful applicants. That will probably also mean NDA’s etc.
Or, it will be put on github, but only pull requests Winamp wants will be pulled. But I doubt this, because there would be a ton of forks, and people would remove all shitfuckery (NFTs!).
They also mentioned they wanted to port it to all platforms, like Linux and fix the Android app so its more like actual PC winamp. This will be quite a task for something written to be purely windows. However the last release had them move the whole project from VS2008 to VS2019 in around 2022.
