Update: Go to this repository to find a maintained fork of Subsonic without the licensing. This other repository is another fork and has more followers.
A patch to disable the licensing functionality in Subsonic, a GPL-licensed media streaming server/web interface. Use of the mobile apps requires you to get a license after 30 days of trial. You obtain a license via donation.
Except that's not a donation. So, here's a patch to fix that. Support the Subsonic project with a donation that's actually a donation. The program is developed and maintained very well.
Steps to victory
svn co https://subsonic.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/subsonic/trunk subsonic
Check out a different branch if you want a specific version.
From the branch root:
patch -p0 < nolicense.patch
mvn install
cd subsonic-booter/
mvn install
Replace the downloaded subsonic.war and subsonic-booter-with-dependencies.jar with the newly compiled ones. Compilation of subsonic-booter is probably optional. It's just a precaution in case the branch you are compiling is newer than whatever version you downloaded.
