GitHub reinstated youtube-dl but restoring forks is apparently a problem
Any forks that make the same very minor changes that ytdl made -- not to provide specific instructions for copyright infringement -- will be reinstated. Or they can complete the DMCA counter-notice process, and if that is unchallenged or successful, be reinstated that way.(Also, the person who wrote this article said that they contacted me, but I never received anything from them.)
