+**Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?**
+
+Yes, I am the copyright holder.

+
+**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**
+
+I am the [private] of the base code that is used in the provided repositories.
+This encompasses the entire solution, which is given to students to work from. Therefore, code which should not be shared is present across the entire repository (in each case).
+
+**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.**
+
+The works are University coursework which are based on frameworks created by me at the University of Hull. These frameworks are my copyright IP and are not to be made publicly available. The original codebase is not freely available and a public repository can cause cheating amongst other students. The individual is allowed to make a private repository and share this privately (e.g. through a CV) but should not publish this publicly as this may impact future students.
+
+Students are provided this warning: "Please do not, under any circumstances, publish your work on a public source code repository – even after you
+leave the University. We have had issues in the past with students using public repositories (e.g. on GitHub) and their work being plagairised. In these circumstances it becomes very difficult to ascertain who was cheating and both parties may be penalised for collusion under the unfair means policy, which can have severe academic consequences. Furthermore, the skeleton code remains the intellectual property of the University of Hull and you are not permitted to share this publicly. You may, however, share your solution (including the skeleton code) privately (e.g. a repository set to private) with prospective employers, etc., as you wish"

+**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**
