Winamp Collaborative License

A "source-available" license that says you can't fork the project, which means it is illegal to click the fork button on GitHub (which is a violation of the GitHub ToS) and also makes it impossible to create any pull requests without push access to the original repo. Source

Oh yeah, I remember that whole fiasco from a few months back.
