An interesting question is can the license be changed afterwards?

Note that this repository and especially the no-key service are potentially violating YouTube ToS.

My project is similar to youtube-dl which is supported by GitHub.

Related to CITATION.cff.

Search scraping in YouTube ToS (cf https://stackoverflow.com/a/62578656).

Should investigate in general how repositories, Discord, VPS, physical machines, leaders (me)... would face a potential DMCA.

Note that this issue doesn't make much progress due to a lack of time and lack of knowledge from my side.

I exceptionally authorized videos?part=clipId usage under MIT license.

Maybe getting in touch with (French) YouTube networks, such as Webedia, Wizdeo, etc, would make sense.

The license that applies to the VirtualBox base package is perpetual and cannot be taken back unless you violate the license. Even if Oracle were to change the license, this would only affect future versions, and anybody still in compliance with their existing license would still be permitted to redistribute the existing VirtualBox code under the terms of the GPLv3.
