We run a training program and we have found that someone is hosting our content on their GitHub. Our notebooks have a copyright statement at the very end. You can see it here, for example: https://github.com/cdaman123/Data-Science-module-WQU/blob/master/Unit%20I%20-%20Scientific%20Computing%20in%20Python/data-wrangling/DS_Basic_DS_Modules.ipynb

The entire repo: https://github.com/cdaman123/Data-Science-module-WQU
**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, there are several forks that I will be issuing separate take down requests

No, it is not licensed to be open source.
**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal? Can the repository be made private?**
Ideally, they would remove the repo altogether. However, if they make it private, it will be fine within the usage but they need to keep it private.
**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**
