qubeck [1] filed a deletion request for yandex-music [2]:

According to clause 4.3 of the Yandex Music License Agreement, it's prohibited to distribute modified versions of software without written permission of the owner. The upstream repository states it's a "Repacked Electron client of Yandex Music for Linux", implying it's modified. Since neither the package repository nor the upstream doesn't contain any it must be removed.

License agreement (in English): https://yandex.ru/legal/music_mobile_agreement/?lang=en

PS. License Agreement says it's for the "mobile version", but Yandex Music for Windows/Mac OS has the same license. You can find it at the bottom of the download page (https://music.yandex.ru/download/)

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/qubeck/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/yandex-music/ @qubeck, please don't file these kinds of requests.

This AUR package does not violate the stipulated provision. AUR does not host the Yandex application itself, it just offers an installation recipe and metadata. Essentially it is analogous to hosting a web URL and letting any user choose to feed that URL into a web browser for processing.
