Please don't use this issue to discuss dramas and decisions of other repository maintainers. This issue is only intended for posting links to new dramas, possibly with short summaries, to make people aware of them. Discussing multiple dramas on the same thread is impractical as the thread can grow long very fast. I will be removing or hiding off-topic comments to keep thread at reasonable size.

Winamp is having a license fiasco (also exposed third part proprietary code). The issues since have been spammed and PRs are mostly jokes

Thank you for this contribution. Unfortunately, as a project stewarded by Broadcom, we are unable to accept contributions from Russian sources due to Broadcom export policy at this time. Thanks for your continued use of Spring.
