Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.

I am an [private] at the University of Manitoba. I retain copyright on intellectual property that I produce as part of my duties in coordinating, organizing, and delivering [private], including [private].

The part of the collective agreement for the union that I am a member of describing copyright ownership and intellectual property can be found here: [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.

I gave permission for [private] registered in [private] [private] to use several segments of code that [private] wrote. The permission [private] gave [private] is to use the code in [private] they are submitting for assessment, but they do not have permission to publish the code as part of their own work. In the file exfat.c in the linked repository this includes lines 20--62 (the unicode2ascii function) and lines 64--151 (a sequence of struct describing data structures in the exFAT file system).

Additionally, I prepared several exFAT-formatted volumes for [private] to use to test the work that they are submitting for assessment. Again: [private] had permission to use these, but not to reproduce or publish them.

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

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 do not see any forks of the repository in GitHub's interface.

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 infringers contact information? If so, please provide it.

I have e-mail addresses: [private]; [private]. An [private] in [private] department has requested that this person make the repository private, but we have not received a response.

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.
