I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.

I am GitHub user [private] a.k.a. Harry-Chen on GitHub, also the co-founder and owner of team PaperAirplane Developer Team(a.k.a. PaperAirplane-Dev-Team on GitHub).

One member of our [private] a.k.a. PeterCxy on GitHub wrote an android application GigaGet and released it on GitHub as PaperAirplane-Dev-Team/GigaGet under GPL V3 license.

Recently I noticed one user named hackerchai forked this repository and made some modifications. Then he compiled the code and released the software on his one website(see http://www.hackerchai.com/, though it's in Chinese, just scroll down the page and the name GigaGet is easy to see, with a link '下载', which means download, pointing to a APK file on Baidu Disk) with the SAME NAME GigaGet without obtaining our permission to do so. He also did not make a statement that he had modified the source code(or marked it as a different version from the original one) but added himself to the contributor list in his released app. This, obviously, is a serious violation of the GPL license.

The URL is https://www.github.com/hackerchai/GigaGet

As he forked our repository and failed to apply some terms of the GPL V3 license we are using, we believe that the entire repository is infringing. I hope this repository could be taken down immediately and hackerchai could be warned of his illegal behavior.

My contact information:
