    That Stirling PDF is surprisingly useful.

      I’ve had it running for a few months, I don’t use it that often but it’s been super handy when I need it.

    The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

      They are not open sourcing anything. They just want people to contribute. The license is not open in any good way fit the users.

        What licence are they using? Do you know something everyone else does not?

        Just because Llama Group want to control what goes into FreeLlama? Just like every other open source with a leadership?

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

        If I release project qwtop as open source I still retain ownership of my code and make the decisions about what makes it into the main release; how is this different so far, when we haven’t seen the licence?
