Before disabling any content in relation to this takedown notice, GitHub
- contacted the owners of some or all of the affected repositories to give them an opportunity to make changes.
- provided information on how to submit a DMCA Counter Notice.
To learn about when and why GitHub may process some notices this way, please visit our README.
Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?
Yes, I am the copyright holder.
Are you submitting a revised DMCA notice after GitHub Trust & Safety requested you make changes to your original notice?
No
Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?
GitHub
Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.
Three CS students have (presumably by negligence) violated Aarhus University's copyright to code used in a programming project, which forbids making the code publicly available:
[private]
https://github.com/winrarr/miniscala
https://github.com/markusraguse/miniscala
A week ago I posted an issue in each of the repos, but the repo owners have not reacted, and I cannot identify them from their github usernames.
The repositiories are clearly abandoned, so no harm will be done by shutting down the repos (or simply making them private).
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 (private) repository that contains the original code is at [private].
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.

Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure.
No
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 found two additional repositories with the same problem, but in those cases the users reacted immediately to my requests (also in the form of issues).
Is the work licensed under an open source license?
No
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?
Repository can be made private
Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.
I am unable to identify the infringers' contact information.
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.
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.
So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.
