+This is a counter notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3). I have read
+and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Counter Notice.
+
+The content that was disabled is the repository located at the following
+link: https://github.com/implydata/plywood.
+
+My contact information is as follows:

+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that the
+material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or
+misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
+
+Specifically, FacetJS (the allegedly infringed work) was released by
+Metamarkets under the Apache 2.0 license. Until Metamarkets deleted it, it
+was available at https://github.com/facetjs/facetjs/ under that license.
+
+Plywood (the allegedly infringing work) is also licensed under the Apache
+2.0 license, and incorporates material from FacetJS, with appropriate
+attribution.
+
+Metamarkets knew and intended that FacetJS was released under the Apache
+2.0 license; that licensing was well-known to Metamarkets executives and
+was announced in a public presentation at the Strata + Hadoop World
+conference in February 2015. A video of that presentation, including the
+announcement of Apache 2.0 licensing, is publicly posted at
+https://youtu.be/bZ3LqG3iHbM?t=32m36s.
+
+While Metamarkets now appears to regret releasing FacetJS under the Apache
+2.0 license, that license is, by its terms, irrevocable. And Metamarkets
+has received consideration for its open-source licensing of FacetJS: for
+example, Metamarkets has received and accepted third-party improvements to
+FacetJS, which is the essential quid-pro-quo of open-source software
+licensing.
+
+In fact, Metamarkets itself uses Plywood -- itself an improvement to
+FacetJS -- and has participated in the development of Plywood. For example,
+the following pull requests in the Plywood repository were submitted by
+Metamarkets:
+
+https://github.com/implydata/plywood/pull/6
+
+https://github.com/implydata/plywood/pull/9
+
+https://github.com/implydata/plywood/pull/11
+
+I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
+district in which my address is located (if in the United States, otherwise
+the Northern District of California where GitHub is located), and I will
+accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA
+notification or an agent of such person.
