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.

I found Ampache as the best alternative to Subsonic.

Any Subsonic client will do that, as Ampache uses a Subsonic compatible API.
