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

Would this allow a fork under a different name or would it have to be rewritten, replacing all original code, like Unix?

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.
