Hi Isla -
You are indeed right: the Mark Angel Comedy crew has not published the
video with the correct license and attribution. We will reach out and ask
for that correction.
For any who are looking to download, use, or modify these 2 video skits,
they are available on Wikimedia Commons with the correct CC-BY-SA 4.0
license:
* "Emmanuella goes to school" -
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_-_Emmanuel la_goes_to_school.webm
* "Things come together" with Peter Edochie -
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_-_Things_c ome_together.webm
all the best,
- Zack
