     @nixCraft really good of them to do it but the choice of license is bewildering.

     @nixCraft Neat! Unfortunately it requires too many Microsoft products like DirectX, It could be really painful to convert to Linux.

     @nixCraft Oh nice. I found my old MP3 backups just yesterday because of too many online ads. Can't wait for my kids to listen to music without paying money to enshittified platforms.

     @nixCraft I feel that companies open their source when there is no hope to make it relevant again.
