Anything the owners of the Winamp code can find in order to take legal action on will be distributed. Rule 2 (and 3) is always superfluous in practice.

Is forking a well defined term? Doubt it will hold up in court.

They don't give permission, so the lack of definition doesn't really matter.

If they were trying to grant a narrow permission and then enjoin someone they thought was outside of their definition, it would matter (But they just aren't giving permission to distribute modified versions).

You can't have a private Github fork

Yes you can; it's set at the organization level

https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organizati...

You can, but only private forks of a private repo are allowed. Private forks of public repos are not allowed by design (modulo some weird bugs that were discussed on a past post).

I stand corrected
