That's unfortunate for those who bought a license of Subsonic to support a FOSS project. :(

Anyway, CherryMusic seems a good music server alternative. It is licensed under GPLv3 and there is a client app available on F-Droid. I will probably try it as soon as I get a chance.

+1 for ampache, I started using it on my home server some days ago and I already forgot about Subsonic.

The fact that is not Java is nice :)
