Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] - Winamp For Linux

Hi Philip, Answers to your questions : 1. Yes, it comes with the source code. Actually the new API that is created/used for developing Winamp3 is designed to be used for other applications as well. It is almost same as Microsoft's COM - or maybe better than COM itself, but uses the same fundamental features. See the WASABI Overview file in the SDK package for more details (The SDK distribution is hardly 700KB dowload). 2., 3. & 4. Yeah, the licence allows you to modify the source, use it in commercial software/freeware etc. I'm attaching the actual "license.txt" from the SDK distribution. Refer to it for more details. I guess the restrictions / conditions in the GNU GPL are more restrictive than the license of WASABI. Also, even the Qt Library license is also still more restrictive, but still these two are considered to be the base of the entire Free Software and Open Source Software movements. I guess, the original SDK distribution is worth a look. Just go through the documentation that comes with it. It'll clear all the points. Kunal ------------------ We are MicroSoft.
