Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I've never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

They are not open sourcing anything. They just want people to contribute. The license is not open in any good way fit the users.

What licence are they using? ~~Do you know something everyone else does not?~~

~~Just because Llama Group want to control what goes into FreeLlama? Just like every other open source with a leadership?~~

~~Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version~~

~~If I release project qwtop as open source I still retain ownership of my code and make the decisions about what makes it into the main release; how is this different so far, when we haven't seen the licence?~~
