Why can't the original developers continue work on the kind of non-infringing alternative/fork that you just outlined? Are they somehow legally "tainted" and debarred from ever creating this type of code again?

On that I'm just speculating, but you'd need to be able to argue that the "new" youtube-dl has a different design purpose than youtube-dl, which seems difficult to do if it's all the same people that made the previous infringing software.
