The infringing repositories are direct, +literal copies of this code. The infringing deepersystems account (which we +aren't affiliated with) has simply copied from our private repositories +from the LogicalInnovation organization. The only differences are in the +README's, where the user has modified them to remove traces of his actions. +Lately he has also added LICENSEs to the repositories to make it appear as +if it's free software, which it is *not*. + +You can verify that I (csaftoiu) am an owner of the LogicalInnovation +repository.

Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified +separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken +down.*** + +It doesn't appear that anyone has forked these repositories yet.

Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the +open source license, or are they in violation of the license?*** + +No, the work has no open source license. It is strictly proprietary company +property. As mentioned, the `deepersystems` user added a LICENSE file to +all of his repositories - this license is *not* present in our original +versions. + +***What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there +specific changes the other person can make other than removal?*** + +We've identified the infringer as an ex-employee. He is clearly doing this +for malicious purposes. The only solution is to remove all of the +repositories, ban the account from GitHub (as it mistakenly appears that it +is affiliated with our company and website, which it isn't), and hope he +doesn't do it again. + +***Do you have the alleged infringer's contact information?
