Dear GitHub,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My name is [private] of Simple Machines, home of
|
||
|
|
the Simple Machines Forum (SMF) project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has come to our attention that a user/project is infringing upon our
|
||
|
|
intellectual property by having "forked" a version of our software that
|
||
|
|
does not have a permissive license.
|
||
|
|
Our work being infringed is SMF 1.1.x. (You may download a copy to
|
||
|
|
compare here:
|
||
|
|
http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?archive;version=75)
|
||
|
|
Whilst SMF 2.x has a BSD license and can be forked without a problem
|
||
|
|
(they can even fork our repository on GitHub), SMF 1.x has a proprietary
|
||
|
|
license which does not allow forking or redistribution in any way.
|
||
|
|
Incidentally, should this have actually been a SMF 2.x fork, even then
|
||
|
|
they managed to violate the very permissive BSD license by removing
|
||
|
|
parts of our copyright and modifying copyright headers, which is against
|
||
|
|
the license and policies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The infringing material can be found here:
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/spoficial/Spirate2.4/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Considering the entire repository is based upon infringed SMF 1.1.x
|
||
|
|
material, we request that you promptly remove the entire Spirate2.4
|
||
|
|
repository.
|
||
|
|
On your copyright infringement page, you request, should we have it,
|
||
|
|
contact details of the owner of the repository.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, we do not have any, other than a vague website that seems
|
||
|
|
to be linked in the source code: http://spirate.net/

allegedly infringed.

Thank you in advance for your quick action.
