Please, sign the petition.
Please excuse my ignorance but what is the benefit of making such an old
piece of software FLOSS ?
Possibly a lot of people still use Winamp today but with things like VLC,
Mediaplayer Classic and the huge variety of players available on Linux I
never look back to Winamp for years. IMO
thank you!
I followed your instructions :)

1. Historical interest.
2. Education. I think, a lot of young programmers want to know how famous
software works under hood.

This is a petition to either keep it alive or release the source code. It's
not a petition to free Winamp; making it open source is just mentioned as
one possible solution to the problem of Winamp being dead (and not even
the preferred solution, at that).
Just use VLC. There's no need for
Ah..thanks for clarification !
I was misleaded by the two big FB and Twitter Icons below the button.
Anyway...I rarely see purpose in open-sourcing WinAmp. Those with interest in
Mediaplayers can simply study the VLC sources.
There's no need for Winamp.
Indeed. All of the functionality is already included in other existing free
programs so there's no need for the the free world to pay any attention to
this campagin. Winamp is proprietary. Let it die, and rejoice in there being

Yes. But , I don't think AOL is going to support Winamp anymore, because this
is unprofitable.

I don't own it, but many people have said that recently.
What would Trisquel do with all that money? I would say EFF is best, followed
by FSF.
Are you writing that VLC is not famous?! Estimations based on direct
downloads (which exceeded one billion in May 2012) indicate that there are
between 100 and 150 millions users of VLC. That is at least what the
association told the Hadopi.
According to Wikipedia: As of June 22, 2000
I agree; I was going to post this but I did not.
Also, there was another article about a popular manufacturer of smart TV
sending data back to HQ even if you opted out.
It's terrible, many people hate it, but do not know the solution...

You had better contact Chris (ThinkPenguin's CEO and Trisquel user).
Are you writing that VLC is not famous?!
No, I'm not. But Winamp is symbol of his epoch. This is like the Prince of
Persia or Windows 95.
I found Mozilla Thunderbird in Trisquel's package listings.
And, sadly, the GNU PPA has no Gnuzilla version of Thunderbird.
I still need a free copy of Thunderbird.
What should I do?
Trademark restriction are acceptable in free systems.

However, it is unacceptable to use trademarks to restrict verbatim
copying and redistribution of the whole distribution, or any part means
that selling copies of the package must be allowed, while the Mozilla
trademark policy doesn't allow it. See

I asked my brother (13 years old) if he knows what Winamp is. He said no.
Though to be fair, he hadn't heard of VLC, either, for some reason.
Same answers from my sister (who's 15).
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has gotten Clipboard sharing to work for a
Trisquel Mini guest?
I installed virtualbox-guest-utils, rebooted the virtual machine,
enabled the shared clipboard in the guest options, but I can't seem to
get it to work.
I didn't want to install guest addition from the
I am really sorry, but I think almost everyone here never even heard of
Winamp. However, most people heard of VLC ; My school uses it, I use it,
thereis 150 millions of users, and in the days Winamp was popular, there were
only 25 millions of users...
I am not going to help peoples to
Thanks Magic Banana!
ogg convert never failed me, but I wanted something that I could scale up or
batch script. I do not recall ogg convert having a comand line interface.
I will install transmageddon to see if it can do what I want.
I've also used WinFF for convertion; it's a frontend for FFmpeg.
I am not going to help peoples to support Open Source ancient proprietary
software, since it would be encouraging also encouraging the use of
MicroSoft Windows, and thus encouraging the use of proprietary softwares.
Of course; everytime a proprietary program becomes free software this is

I for one would love to see Winamp become free software. Then it can be
ported to GNU/Linux!
I read these posts.
They are very interesting.

I don't like this petition. Saying if it cannot be kept alive in one form
or another then its source code needs to be released to the public implies
that making the source code of a program available (the only ethical way of
distributing a program) is akin to killing the program.
I originally supported the idea, until I read the petition and realised
that it said keep Winamp alive OR go open source. I could only sign a
petition that said go free software (or maybe go open source if I
knew the open source license was also free).
Unlike other opinions here, I think
This petition emphasizes preventing Winamp from dying, not freeing its
source code. Making it open source is talked about as a secondary,
solution to the problem in the event that AOL is unwilling to continue
maintaining it as a proprietary program.
Signing this petition does not vote for
So, what can I do? GNU doesn't have a Gnuzilla version of Thunderbird.
Interesting, but few would actually find these gifts attractive.
Someone _might_ like the laptop, but yo would complain about not being able
to play BusRider, or whatever stupid games people like to play. (Trisquel
keeps kids away from my personal files, for sure.)

Debian has a re-branded version, IceDove I think.
I try to stay away from Debian. I'm going to look for gNewSense's spinoff.
I'd suggest mapping software, rather than GPS software. GPS is a tracking
device.
