I am the copyright holder of most of the code in this repository:
https://github.com/cocopudding/ece297-GIS .
This repository contains the major assignment for the course [private] at the
University of Toronto. The repository contains not only the code written by
the student (and two teammates) to complete the assignment, but also the
code written by the course teaching team (myself and my teaching
assistants) that provides the bulk of the assignment functionality. Leaving
this repository online violates my copyright and that of the University of
Toronto to the code created for the course. Having this repository public
also encourages plagiarism by future students as 350 students a year take
this course, and the course project is too complex to completely change
each year -- hence being able to download a complete solution from a prior
year encourages weaker students to copy, and harms those students who are
completing the course in the proper way by creating their own solution.
The entire repository at https://github.com/cocopudding/ece297-GIS is the
course assignment. Code that was written by the teaching team (myself,
[private], [private] and [private]) and is owned by the
University of Toronto includes:

This constitutes the majority of the code in this repository, and at the
minimum this code should be taken down.
The other source files in this repository were written for the course and
many include smaller amounts of code written by the teaching team. These
files also should not be published on a public website, so it would be best
if the entire repository was taken down. The copyright status of these
other source files is less clear as it was not completely written by the
teaching team (but portions are copied from the skeleton files provided as
part of the course). However, it is subject to the University of Toronto's
policies on work submitted for credit in a course.
**Have you searched for any forks 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.**
I have searched for forks but have not found any public ones.
This work is not licensed under an open source license. I maintain
ownership of the copyrighted files.
**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there
specific changes the other person can make other than removal?**
Taking down the repository or making the repository private would both be
acceptable.
**Do you have the alleged infringer's contact information? If so, please
provide it:**
The infringer is [private], whose University of Toronto email is
[private]. This email may not be current however,
as [private] may have graduated.
I have emailed [private] on February 3, 2019 asking her to take down this
repository or make it private, but have not heard a response. In case she
is not checking his University of Toronto email, I have also filed an issue
on this repository on February 12, 2019 with this content:
"Your [private] project is currently open for public viewing. This encourages
plagiarism by future students, and violates the license of the code created
by the course instructors which you have included with your project. Please
make your repository private, or move it to another private site."
I have also not heard a response to this issue.
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.
