 # Winamp Collaborative License (WCL) Version 1.0.1
 
-This License governs the use, modification, and distribution of the Winamp software. 
-By using, Modifying, or distributing this software, you agree to the following terms:
-
 ## Preamble
-The Winamp Collaborative License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. It is designed to ensure that you have the freedom to use, Modify, and study the software, but with certain restrictions on the distribution of modifications to maintain the integrity and collaboration of the project.
+
+Welcome to the **Winamp Collaborative License**, where "collaboration" means you get to do exactly what we allow—nothing more, nothing less. We're thrilled to give you the *privilege* of using and studying our software, but don't get any wild ideas about sharing your tweaks or improvements. After all, maintaining the *integrity* of our project is far more important than your freedom or creativity.
 
 ## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
 ### 1. Definitions
-- "This License" refers to version 1.0.1 of the Winamp Collaborative License.
+
-- "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work Licensed under this License.
+- **"This License"** refers to our meticulously crafted rules that ensure you stay in line.
-- "You" refers to each Licensee, whether an individual or organization.
+- **"The Program"** is our masterpiece, which you're lucky enough to use under strict supervision.
-- "Modify" means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.
+- **"You"** are the fortunate individual or organization agreeing to our terms without negotiation.
-- "Covered Work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
+- **"Modify"** means you can tinker quietly at home but dare not share your innovations.
-- "Convey" means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies.
+- **"Covered Work"** encompasses any version of the Program we choose to control.
+- **"Convey"** is the act of sharing, which we're generally not fond of unless it's us doing it.
 
 ### 2. Basic Permissions
-All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a Covered work is covered by this License only if its contents constitute a Covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+You have our gracious permission to run the unmodified Program. Feel free to admire the output, but remember, if it resembles a Covered Work, it's under our domain. We acknowledge your rights of fair use—as long as they don't interfere with our authority.
 
 ### 3. Grant of License
-You are granted the right to view, access, and study the source code of the software.
+
-You are granted the right to Modify the software for private use only. You may make, run, and propagate Covered works that you do not Convey, without conditions, so long as your License otherwise remains in force.
+- **View, Access, and Study**: Dive into the source code all you want. Knowledge is power—but only if kept to yourself.
+- **Modify for Private Use Only**: Go ahead, tweak the software to your heart's content in the privacy of your own home. Just don't let anyone else see it.
+- **No Conveyance**: You can make and run Covered Works without sharing them. Isolation is the key to collaboration, didn't you know?
 
 ### 4. Contributions
-- Contribution to Project: You are encouraged to contribute improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes back to the project. Contributions must be submitted to the official repository and will be reviewed and incorporated at the discretion of the maintainers.
+
-- Assignment of Rights: By submitting contributions, you agree that all intellectual property rights, including copyright, in your contributions are assigned to Winamp. You hereby grant Winamp a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your contributions as part of the software, without any compensation to you.
+- **Contribution to Project**: We *encourage* you to submit improvements—for us to own and control completely.
-- Waiver of Rights: You waive any rights to claim authorship of the contributions or to object to any distortion, mutilation, or other modifications of the contributions.
+- **Assignment of Rights**: By contributing, you kindly transfer all your intellectual property rights to us. Compensation? Oh no, your satisfaction is enough.
+- **Waiver of Rights**: You relinquish any claims to authorship or objections to how we might alter—or distort—your work. Your creativity is ours to mold.
 
 ### 5. Restrictions
-- No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
+
-- Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.
+- **No Distribution of Modified Versions**: Sharing is caring, but not here. Keep your modified versions locked away.
+- **Official Distribution Only**: Only we have the exclusive right to distribute the software and any modifications. Monopoly has such a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
 
 ### 6. No Sublicensing
-Sublicensing is not allowed; section 5 makes it unnecessary.
+
+Why would you need to grant rights to others when we're here to keep everything nicely contained?
 
 ### 7. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law
 
-No Covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
+Rest easy; nothing here counts as an effective technological measure under anti-circumvention laws. We wouldn't want any legal loopholes interfering with our control.
 
 ### 8. Disclaimer of Warranty
-The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from, out of, or in connection with the software or the use or other dealings in the software.
+
+The software is provided "as is," which means if anything goes wrong, it's entirely your problem. Warranties? We don't believe in them.
 
 ### 9. Limitation of Liability
-In no event will the authors or copyright holders be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use the software, even if the authors or copyright holders have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+We're not responsible for any damages, losses, or inconveniences you may experience. Even if we could foresee them—which, of course, we can't.
 
 ### 10. Termination
-This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions herein. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the software.
+
+Fail to comply with our terms, and poof—your rights disappear. You'll need to stop using the software immediately and destroy all copies. We don't mess around.
 
 ### 11. Protection of Copyright
-The original authors or copyright holders of the software retain all rights, title, and interest in the software. This license does not transfer any ownership rights.
+
-You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices in the source code and documentation of the software.
+We retain all rights, titles, and interests. This License doesn't transfer any ownership to you—why would it? Unauthorized use may lead to civil and criminal penalties. Consider yourself warned.
-By submitting contributions, you agree that the contributions are your original work and you grant the project a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your contributions as part of the software.
-Any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the software, or any portion thereof, may result in civil and criminal penalties.
 
 ### 12. Patent Rights
-Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
-If you initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging that the Program or a contribution incorporated within the Program constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to you under this License for that Program shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
+We grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license—unless you decide to challenge us. If you sue us for patent infringement, your rights under this License terminate immediately. Play nice, or don't play at all.
 
 ### 13. Trademark Usage
-This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor, except as required for describing the origin of the Program and reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
+
+Our trade names, trademarks, and service marks are off-limits unless you're giving us credit. Recognition without rights—that's the spirit!
 
 ### 14. Privacy and Data Protection
-You must comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws in connection with your use of the Program.
+
-If the Program collects user data, you must provide clear notice and obtain any necessary consents for such collection.
+You must comply with all privacy laws. If the Program collects user data, it's your job to inform users and get consent. We're hands-off when it comes to responsibility.
 
 ### 15. Support and Updates
-The Licensor has no obligation to provide support, updates, or maintenance for the Program. Any such support, updates, or maintenance will be provided at the sole discretion of the Licensor.
+
+Don't expect support, updates, or maintenance from us. If we feel generous, we might provide them, but don't count on it.
 
 ### 16. Compliance
-You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Program.
+
+Obey all laws and regulations. If you get into legal trouble, that's on you—not us.
 
 ### 17. Miscellaneous

-- Severability: If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
-By using, Modifying, or contributing to the software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
 
-This custom License aims to maintain the collaborative nature of the project while restricting the distribution of modified versions.
+- **Governing Law and Jurisdiction**: This License is governed by the laws of Belgium. Any disputes will be settled in Brussels. Hope you enjoy international legal travel!

+
