Why don't you use a petition website that can properly manage and handle delivery of the signatures... not to mention this website is closing in 1 month.

all i'll say is open sourcing would not be the magical bullet that you're all thinking it would be and if people like Xaser for example are already going to contemplate yet another Winamp clone (haven't we been there before) it's just going to cause more fractioning of things then i personally think is good.

5.66 is a solid basis to work from for if needed making new plug-ins for features and with a fixed Winamp base, things aren't going to change which is more likely to happen if it were to be open sourced and then you have a mass of different 'bases' to work with.
