and the following forks that have files renamed or moved in another folder (FORKS2):
I have investigated each individual case and I have noticed that the projects listed above are using source code copied from the project https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF originally hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ but all original notices about author, copyright and license were removed or replaced.
The first commit on the PARENT project is indicated as 7 September 2013, so it can be safely compared against TCPDF version 6.0.025 released 4 September 2013 (https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/tree/6.0.025):
In the PARENT and FORKS1 projects the following files appears to be almost verbatim copies of the original ones, with the exception of the legal notices removed (author, copyright and license):
- src/Dinesh/Barcode/Datamatrix.php (include/barcodes/datamatrix.php)
- src/Dinesh/Barcode/DNS1D.php (tcpdf_barcodes_1d.php)
- src/Dinesh/Barcode/DNS2D.php (tcpdf_barcodes_2d.php)
- src/Dinesh/Barcode/PDF417.php (include/barcodes/pdf417.php)
- src/Dinesh/Barcode/QRcode.php (include/barcodes/qrcode.php)
In the FORKS2 project the following files appears to be almost verbatim copies of the original ones, with the exception of the legal notices removed (author, copyright and license):
- src/tklovett/barcodes/Barcode.php
- src/tklovett/barcodes/BarcodeGenerator.php
- src/tklovett/barcodes/BarcodeType.php
- src/tklovett/barcodes/OneDimensionalBarcode.php
- src/tklovett/barcodes/TwoDimensionalBarcode.php
The original code is released under the GNU LGPLv3 license and copyrighted by [Private] - Tecnick.com LTD, but none of this information is present in the copied files. https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/blob/6.0.025/LICENSE.TXT
The options to remedy the infringement are:
- delete the project - this seems the best option as this project is not adding anything to the original files.
- if the license is compatible with GNU-LGPLv3, replace the infringing files with the original ones, or reinstate the original notices (author, copyright, license);
- delete the infringing files and use the new external library https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-barcode (originally based on the same code).
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.

The only contact information I have about the infringers is the one derived from their GitHub page (please see the preceding links above).
Please send me a prompt response indicating the actions you have taken to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
