Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf? Yes.
Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.
The following private repositories have been infringed. The code is proprietary and not published. The infringing repositories are direct, literal copies of this code. The infringing deepersystems account (which we aren't affiliated with) has simply copied from our private repositories from the LogicalInnovation organization. The only differences are in the README's, where the user has modified them to remove traces of his actions. Lately he has also added LICENSEs to the repositories to make it appear as if it's free software, which it is not.
You can verify that I (csaftoiu) am an owner of the LogicalInnovation repository. Our website is available here - http://www.deepersystems.com/ - and you can see me listed under "Our Team" - [private].

Finally, we forked an existing repository and made our own contributions to it, which are private and copyrighted and not released to the public. This repository is a clone of our repository with our contributions added - those contributions are the ones infringing our rights in this case:
[private]
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository's URL:
The following repositories should be taken down as they are just copies of the ones above, with changes to README or LICENSEs only:
- https://github.com/deepersystems/cvutil
- https://github.com/deepersystems/bg
- https://github.com/deepersystems/bg-opencv
- https://github.com/deepersystems/datasci-hq-backend
- https://github.com/deepersystems/chess-opencv
- https://github.com/deepersystems/opencv-gui
- https://github.com/deepersystems/cvlib
- https://github.com/deepersystems/consolenet
- https://github.com/deepersystems/keras_ds
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.
It doesn't appear that anyone has forked these repositories yet. The longer they stay up, the greater the chance of this, of course.
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 has no open source license. It is strictly proprietary company
property. As mentioned, the deepersystems user added a LICENSE file to
all of his repositories - this license is not present in our original
versions.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?
We've identified the infringer as an ex-employee. He is clearly doing this for malicious purposes. The only solution is to remove all of the repositories, ban the account from GitHub (as it mistakenly appears that it is affiliated with our company and website, which it isn't), and hope he doesn't do it again.
Do you have the alleged infringer's contact information? If so, please provide it:
Yes. The username is, of course, deepersystems. The infringer lives in [private].
