Question: Hello Justin. Thank you for winamp and NSIS, you are kind of a hero of mine. I want to write a new music player inspired by winamp. Ideally I'd like to include a modified version of the original skin from winamp 2 so that my program looks almost identical to winamp. Do you own the copyright to the winamp 2 built-in skin, or AOL? Are you able to give me permission to distribute an extracted/modified version in an open source project? And if you are able to grant that permission, will you?

I don't own shit. The owners of winamp.com probably do. I actually spent a few weeks in May writing a REAPER-only media player VST which is modeled after Winamp, though with a new skin. Gotta release that one of these days...

Yeah that's pretty much what I figured. Thanks for your time.

I should add, I support you morally though! Also check out webamp.org :)

Over a year late, but they say late is better than never. In the end I just made my own winamp "inspired" skin. Still haven't released the project yet, but I will one day.

Whoops, pressed enter too early. I have heard of webamp, but I had already written antisol.org/webamp/by the time I did ;). And I appreciate the moral support!
