+Hello,  
+  
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.  
+  
+I act as the [private] of Agence Malttt SAS, a French company, and I am the [private] of the code in question.  
+I am the [private] of the company, and I am the only person who has access to the private repository.  
+  
+We recently identified a public repository which is infringing on our  
+copyright. The repository is located at:  
+https://github.com/StuartApp/stuart-woocommerce-plugin/  
+  
+The infringing content is located at:  
+https://github.com/StuartApp/stuart-woocommerce-plugin/tree/master/stuart-woocommerce  
+  
+Particularly, the following files:  
+https://github.com/StuartApp/stuart-woocommerce-plugin/blob/master/stuart-woocommerce/stuart-woocommerce.php  
+https://github.com/StuartApp/stuart-woocommerce-plugin/blob/master/stuart-woocommerce/custom-shipping-method.php  
+  
+These files claim that the author is "[private]" and the license is GPL. This is not true.  
+  
+The original content is located in a private repository at:  
+[private]
+  
+These files are the core content of our work, you can see the original content at :  
+[private]  
+[private]
+  
+The original content is licensed under a GPL license and under Malttt Agency / [private] ([private]) authorship.  
+Also our code has never been public or published in any other repository.  
+It is also older than the other repository, first commit on our side was on [private] (see file capture [private]).  
+The other repository was created on [private] (see [private]).  
+  
+As GPL states, we have to provide our consent to the use of our code, which was not the case here.  
+We are actually selling this plugin/code on CodeCanyon, and we have the right to take legal action against this.  
+Since the date they published this publicly our sales plummeted, and we are losing money because of this.  
+  
+I joined some screen capture to prove that the code was lightly modified and is 99% the same as our work.  
+  
+To provide a bit of background here, the code was originally written by [private], [private], for selling it via my company (Agence Malttt, see https://www.malttt.com) on CodeCanyon.  
+Stuart (delivery service in Europe) has a public API so we made a plugin to integrate it with WooCommerce.  
+We have been selling this plugin for a while now, and we have a lot of customers using it.  
+  
+We have not been contacted by Stuart to ask us to make the plugin public.  
+We just learned via a client last week that they launched a public repository with our code.  
+  
+We tried to contact Stuart to resolve the matter since, but they did not answer this request.  
+  
+Our address and contact information is:

+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. I have taken fair use into consideration.  
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
