+**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.**
+
+My package is called leaf-db. It's a TypeScript-based database package which I personally use for other projects. It is licensed under the GPL 3.0 license.
+
+GitHub link: https://github.com/chronoDave/leaf-db  
+npm link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/leaf-db
+
+The infringed work specifically copied parts of an older version of my code (6.1.2), which can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/chronoDave/leaf-db/tree/d60835d9c39f23b6ad14217d43c970e2ca331a76
+
+**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**
+
+Infringing package url (NPM): https://www.npmjs.com/package/akivadb
+
+Unfortunately, the GitHub link on the NPM package page points to a 404, so the infringing file locations will be described as a path where https://www.npmjs.com/package/akivadb?activeTab=explore is the path's root.

Please see our <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice#complaints-about-anti-circumvention-technology">Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology</a> if you are unsure.**
+
+No
+
+**<a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">Have you searched for any forks</a> of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.**
+
+As far as I can tell there are no forks made of my code.
+
+**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**
+
+Yes
+
+**Which license?**
+
+GPL-3.0
+
+**How do you believe the license is being violated?**
+
+According to https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v3-(gpl-3)
+
+- State changes (there's no public repository)  
+- Disclose source (there's no credits in the code, README or package.json)  
+- Include license (license has been changed)  
+- Include copyright (hasn't propagated license requirements)  
+
+**What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.**
+
+1) Adding appropriate attribution (mentioning my GitHub username, project name and preferably a link to my code)  
+2) Changing the BSD 3-Clause license to GPL-3.0  
+3) Make the repository publicly available
+
+**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?**
+
+Other Change
+
+**Describe the change.**
+
+Make the project compliant as mentioned above:
+
+1) Adding appropriate attribution (mentioning my GitHub username and preferably a link to my code)  
+2) Changing the BSD 3-Clause license to GPL-3.0  
+3) Make the repository publicly available  
+
+**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**
+
+I do not. I've looked in the package.json, on the GitHub profile and their Twitter but have not found a way to contact the person outside of publicly mentioning about this issue, which I deemed inappropriate.
+
+**I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.**
