License

The file _yt-dlp(_yt-dlp) comes from yt-dlp releases (their “The Unlicense” license).

This repo is under “The Unlicense”.
From what I know, in France, you can’t voluntarily unlicense a work to the public domain (it’s to prevent abuses). But you also can’t license something that is not creative enough. The work from this repo falls clearly in the “no creativity” category.
So you can do what you want with it, if you want to put attribution you can, if you don’t you don’t have to.
