**Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?**  

Yes, we are the copyright owner. We maintain a private repository of the codebase at [private]. This private repository and its forks are the only legitimate copies of the codebase.

You can see that our repository has existed for years and our package names match our GitHub organization (i.e. here). AllenAi refers to the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence or AI2. You can read more about our company at http://allenai.org/.

**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.**  

Yes, I have searched for forks. I listed them under the previous question.

**Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?**  

No, the work is not licensed under an open source license. The only legitimate copy is the private repository at [private] and its private forks.

**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?**  

The only solution is for the infringing copies to be removed. The infringing repository was made by a former intern who did not have permission to create a public copy of the codebase. Nobody has permission to make a public copy of the codebase.
