It's currently posssible to make a PR to the github dmca repo that merges youtube-dl, and so violate their TOS.

When you make that PR, you do not transfer any of youtube-dl to github. Their repo already has those objects.

So all you have done is pushed a repo containing a specific hash, which is now a TOS violation, in that specific case at least. I wrote "Certain commit hashes are rapidly heading toward being illegal" because of that specificity.
