[ydl-gen] pathetic

I think that GNU.org offers possibly the best explanation for open
source stands for:

"Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the
concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free
beer."


An example of this is RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). RHEL is a paid
product because when you buy it, you're also buying a support package.
RedHat still releases the source code for a vast majority of RHEL
packages, making the CentOS project possible. If you'd rather not pay
for RHEL, then feel free to run CentOS, which is upstream compatible
with RHEL packages, but lacking in paid support.
