Winamp Legacy player source code is now open

I was writing the post about Winamp, when I noticed that it is already here :-)

So, I would like to add that while Winamp legacy player source code is published, it is without true open source license...
The license is not the GPL or MIT/BSD, but the custom one with restricted forking, which violates [GitHub Terms and conditions](https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/6).

Another interesting issue, [the repository contained "confidential" code of another company](https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/17). While the 3rd party code was removed ( [commit 1](https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/commit/0ee0230131265316e472ba1392c5e3036f1ebe31) and [commit 2](https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/commit/0003d3d743e5d0d4e4049e59ab92c86d142722a8)), it is still visible in the [history](https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/blob/3f856d2842017217f4839790a8d2cb8b74020d3e/Src/aacPlus/aacplusdectypes.h).
