Patch to fix license issues caused by AI generated license. #1226
Conversation
Remove remnants from Generative AI used to create this license and fixed errors which gave users the right to propagate but not convey (propagate) the Program. New for this patch: Enabled collaboration but not redistribution, as intended. In addition, redefined a covered work to mean patches, and clarified the sub-licensing restrictions to state the binary or source patches must be licensed as permissive for the sake of allowing Winamp to use, modify, and apply them to the freely available official distributions.

But this edit makes no sense:
What does "like patch" mean? Do you mean "like a patch"? |

Some comments about these changes
No ... if I run Winamp to convert my audio file from .WAV to .mp3, then the resulting mp3 file does not count as a work covered by this license even though it is output from the program.
That information is completely irrelevant to a software license and should not be added.
Publicly posting your modification, such as in public pull requests on Github exactly like this one, is entirely prohibited by these conditions. The only collaboration possible under these conditions would be developing modifications privately and then privately conveying them to the Winamp developers outside of Github. This is deeply stupid but it could be what was intended by this stupid license. About that last sentence, which this changes correctly removes
This last sentence was the dead giveaway that the license was generated by an LLM, because it is clear that the LLM did not intend the last sentence to be part of the license. It was instead summarizing the result it provided. |
Additionally fixes that enable the goal as stated by the License.
