+To Whom it May Concern:
+
+This is a DMCA Takedown Notice submission.
+
+I am the CTO for Nth Gen Software Inc.
+
+Nth Gen Software Inc. is the copyright holder for our TradeRev product. (www.traderev.com).
+TradeRev is a business-to-business auctioning application for vehicles.
+
+It has come to our attention that someone has obtained a copy of our source code and has published it in github.com in:
+
+https://github.com/apertureapps/lenamaste/
+
+The entire source code of our Android application has been published in this project.
+
+Due to the age of this source code, we believe this user is a former employee of the company who was terminated in 2012.
+
+Because the java class package names have been renamed, we believe the code was modified and published with malicious intent.
+
+If you look in this folder you can see classes which have nothing to do with “ApertureApp”.
+
+https://github.com/apertureapps/lenamaste/tree/master/src/com/apertureapps/mobile/android/lenamaste
+
+The source files are clearly for an automotive-related application. Among other things, the source contain maps to TradeRev's propriatory business data structures and data services.
+
+For some simple evidence, in file https://github.com/apertureapps/lenamaste/blob/master/src/com/apertureapps/mobile/android/lenamaste/SecondActivity.java
+
+we can see:
+
+1. One of the REST server addresses for traderev.com is commented in the source files ( as in the following java comment ):
+
+   [private]
+
+2. The personal email address of [private], a partner and co-founder of NthGen Software and TradeRev.com can be found in the param strings (i.e. [private]). This email address was commonly use for testing and was in the source code of our files in 2012. I have copied [private] in this email.
+
+   [private]
+
+3. The Release Notes / Changelog for our Android app was also included in the project, in https://github.com/apertureapps/lenamaste/blob/master/Release_notes.txt
+
+As you can see from the notes, this is the change log for a major product, with significant work history. It is not the usual initial commit of an open source project.
+
+Also, my name ([private]) is mentioned twice in this file, along with the names of other employees.
+
+Due to other Strings in the file which identify the developer using this code, we are certain the origin of these files is from said terminated employee.
+The name of this former employee is [private].
+
+Email: [private]
+
+Last known mailing address: [private]
+
+We request for these source files (the entire project) to be taken down immediately.
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
+
+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 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.
