The author justin frankel (also wrote reaper the DAW absolute legend) had this to say about it

> Question: Now that WinAMP's source has been officially released, do you have any desire to hack new badass features in?

Answer: If I did have any desire, it would be extinguished by the license terms, lol. The terms are completely absurd in the way they are written, e.g. "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." So arguably making any changes would be considered "creating a forked version." But even taking these terms as they are likely intended (which is slightly more permissive than how they are written), they are terrible. No thank you.
