  Winamp recently had its source code released with a custom license that went against GitHub's TOS, with multiple issues created about it[0].

  Within the past 15 hours, the repo has gained over 900 issues in Russian, that vary from "shitposts"[1] to vague threats[2]. An additional 100 issues are also closed.

  I don't understand. As a Russian, you might as well ignore the license without any consequences and fork whatever you want. And yet this crowd seems to be mad mostly about licensing.
