+1 LGTM

licensing*

Thanks, but it should be GPL v2, as the Winamp source code contains GPL v2 code, this would be the proper license, and the license the Winamp team slapped, on, is nullified by their usage of GPL v2 code.

in the gpl license it states that gpl2 and gpl1 code can be in a gpl3 repository

We should definitely incorporate, take the new Winamp Corp public, then pump and dump. Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets will do all the work for us. 🤣

That's not necessary true. Most software used "GPLv2 or later" before GPLv3 came out, some software didn't. Linux for example was a prominent example.

You don't need to squash the tree, you can use git filter repo, to rewrite the history without certain folders. :)

But again: If software is build with GPL code and shipped as binary, all shipped source code becomes legally "free" under the GPL.

I felt doing a squash was best to fully avoid legal trouble because of proprietary code, after all people are imperfect, but just combining everything is perfect. Also wasn't a squash really, I deleted .git and did from scratch.

@niceEli filtering a git does exactly what you want: It can remove parts of the git repo from ever having existed, while preserving the full history of the repository.
