Description

#### Issue Summary

I upload videos to YouTube under a CC-BY-SA license to promote the arts and sciences. However, my CC-BY-SA license is missing in LBRY/Odysee.

#### Steps to Reproduce

1. Sync [my YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/danieldugovic) with LBRY
2. Upload a video with a Creative Commons license.
3. Wait for video to sync.

It is time-consuming in Odysee to manually update my videos to indicate the CC-BY-SA license. I do not know whether this issue belongs in this repository or some other repository, however I cannot find contact information nor can I find a "default content license" setting for YouTube sync anywhere. I expected that videos I indicate in YouTube as having a CC license would automatically appear the same way in LBRY and in Odysee. If I wanted to manually sync content, I would not have used YouTube sync in the first place.

Research direction

Start at the YouTube sync flow described in the reproduction steps and inspect how YouTube license metadata is handled when videos are mirrored to LBRY/Odysee. Done means a CC-BY-SA license selected on YouTube is preserved after synchronization; verify this using the listed channel scenario.
