Wtf does this do

This repository presents itself as a standalone Windows utility that generates extra video frames and upscales the resolution of games to improve visual smoothness and performance. The README describes features like doubling or tripling your frames per second using a technique called optical flow frame generation, and scaling up game resolution using various algorithms. However, the project explicitly describes itself as a "crack alternative" that bypasses the license verification of a paid commercial product called Lossless Scaling. This means it is designed to let people use paid software without purchasing it, which raises significant legal and ethical concerns. The repository contains a downloadable installer for Windows and is written in C#.
