Re:ReVanced DMCA Takedown on GitHub

This takedown has nothing to do with YouTube.
The repo was distributing patches for non-YouTube apps as well; specifically AnyTracker[0] and Pflotsch ECMWF[1]. Both of these patches appear to have been disablers for the Google Play License checks to permit usage of their respective "premium" version and both developers filed takedowns.
Suprisingly not Google (the original Vanced) or the MPAA (youtube-dl) this time.
