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.
Original source: https://github.com/masari-project/masari
Copyright infringed: https://github.com/fonero-project/fonero
For example, my initials [Private] are in their code, https://github.com/fonero-project/fonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_basic/checkpoints.cpp#L221
Original source: https://github.com/masari-project/masari/blob/master/src/cryptonote_basic/checkpoints.cpp#L181
Another example from Bitcointalk (long after they refused to retain copyright notice), [Private] this shows original source in the Masari project in their repository without copyright notice.
Original source: https://github.com/masari-project/node-cryptonote-util/tree/msr
Copyright infringed: https://github.com/fonero-project/node-cryptonote-util
There are changes here that are made to make Masari compatible with this node-cryptonote-util fork (Masari is a fork of Monero with a heavily refactored code-base and caused incompatibilities with this repository)
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository's URL:
Listed fonero-project repositories need to be taken down (fonero and node-cryptonote-util), they've relentlessly refused to retain Masari's copyright notice.
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
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?
They're in violation of the open source license by refusing to retain copyright notice (clearly stated in section 1, https://github.com/masari-project/masari/blob/master/LICENSE).
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?
They can retain copyright notice - the entire Masari codebase is a fully refactored version of Monero's (with full copyright retention in Masari) and the Fonero project is claiming it all as their own by refusing copyright notice.
Do you have the alleged infringer's contact information? If so, please provide it:
I do not have their contact information, only through their Bitcointalk forum [Private]) and their Telegram group ([Private])
