Do you want to make changes to your repository or do you want to dispute the notice?
I'd like dispute the notice and restore the repository and its releases.
Is there anything else you think we should know about why you believe the material was removed as a result of a mistake? (optional)
This software, Axiom, is compiled from a codebase that is based off of the Asuna codebase, which is open-sourced under the GPL license, therefore Axiom is a derivative work and is free software also covered by GPL. Therefore this DMCA takedown is invalid. Asuna is here [private] Many commits to Asuna have been reverted before taking it closed source, so that Axiom could not itself be DMCA'd by other contributors to Asuna. This is a fork of Asuna with those additional contributors still included https://github.com/national/asuna-for-everyone and some of that code is in Axiom but not all of it. However, since the original codebase is GPL, this means that DMCA cannot be used to take down a derivative work off of Axiom (the release on the axiom-for-everyone repo, whose takedown we are disputing here).
There are plenty of screenshots attached providing proof that Axiom is a modification of Asuna, all of the GitHub screenshots are from asuna-for-everyone, and the others can be verified with a Java bytecode viewer as being from the Axiom jar that was taken down from our repo. Specifically, from this folder d19708e547/src/main/java/com/sasha/asuna/mod/mixin/client as it is not obfuscated. As you can see, this code is GPL licensed. Almost all other files are demonstrably from Asuna, but the mixin folder is the easiest to demonstrate since it cannot be obfuscated and remain functional.
If you look on the top level of the Axiom jar, you can see that a file is still called "AsunaThumb.png". It it can be found at d19708e547/src/main/resources/AsunaThumb.png, and the shasum of the file in the Axiom jar matches (6ffbdcb930d2d6bad0565f703d2098d8509ef849).
Furthermore the configuration file which Axiom loads is still called AsunaData.yml. For example, see the string "You haven't defined any greeter messages in the AsunaData.yml file, located in your .mc folder. You should go there and add some!" in the Axiom jar is clearly the same as the error message in Asuna defined here d19708e547/src/main/java/com/sasha/asuna/mod/feature/impl/JoinLeaveMessagesFeature.java (L114)
Here are the screenshots of identical Mixin annotation headers:
