To Whom It May Concern:
|
||
|
||
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
|
||
|
||
I am writing to request that Github take down the project at the following
|
||
link: https://github.com/implydata/pivot.
|
||
|
||
This project infringes the copyright of Metamarkets Group, Inc. in the
|
||
proprietary, interactive visualization software called Facet, described at
|
||
https://metamarkets.com/2015/introducing-facet/. Facet was developed
|
||
internally at Metamarkets and Metamarkets holds the copyright thereto.
|
||
Facet is only available to Metamarkets customers who purchase a license to
|
||
use Facet.
|
||
|
||
Pivot purportedly is owned by Imply Data. The [private] of Imply Data is [private]. Mr. [private] is a former employee of Metamarkets who had
|
||
access to Facet, including its highly confidential and proprietary source
|
||
code, by virtue of his employment with Metamarkets. Mr. [private] left
|
||
Metamarkets’ employment in May 2015. At an unknown time in 2015, Mr.
|
||
[private] joined Imply Data. Imply Data then published Pivot on Github
|
||
under an Apache 2.0 open source license. Pivot’s first commit on Github
|
||
includes text that literally references “Facet,” which Imply Data copied
|
||
and thereby infringed, as set forth below:
|
||
|
||
Pivot also copies functions, function names, arguments, variables, and
|
||
lines of code from Facet, including lines 20-353 of formatter.ts in its
|
||
first public commit on July 23, 2015, available here:
|
||
|
||
https://github.com/implydata/pivot/commit/d9f525488d51a9e3d54962bbbd7f328c3191e890
|
||
|
||
This code contains at least eight functions which are identical in name,
|
||
and contain identical or nearly identical lines of code, to Metamarkets’
|
||
private, proprietary dashboard repository which can be found at:
|
||
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
These eight functions and their corresponding code are involved in the
|
||
copyrighted visual display of numbers in Metamarkets’ proprietary Facet
|
||
software:
|
||
|
||
humanizeNumberWithScale
|
||
|
||
humanizeNumber
|
||
|
||
add_separators_to_number
|
||
|
||
make_humanizer
|
||
|
||
get_small_large_template
|
||
|
||
after_decimal_point_at_precision
|
||
|
||
get_after_decimal
|
||
|
||
humanizerFromData
|
||
|
||
humanizeNumbers
|
||
|
||
Pivot slavishly copies the proprietary Facet code in each of these
|
||
corresponding functions. Set forth the below are screenshots showing
|
||
examples of the infringing Pivot code, followed by the commit date and code
|
||
line numbers of the corresponding proprietary Facet code Pivot has copied
|
||
(which is contained in a private repository located at
|
||
[private]).
|
||
The Facet code is not pasted below in screenshot format because Github
|
||
publishes all DMCA notices online, and such publication would only do
|
||
further harm to Metamarkets’ proprietary rights in Facet:
|
||
|
||
● humanizeNumberWithScale
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 79-93,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
● humanizeNumber
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 99-101,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
● add_separators_to_number
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 127-143,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
· make_humanizer
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 146-269,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
● get_small_large_template
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 344-366,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
● after_decimal_point_at_precision, get_after_decimal
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 370-400,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
● humanizerFromData, humanizeNumbers
|
||
|
||
Corresponding lines of infringed Facet code: lines 402-429,
|
||
[private]
|
||
|
||
In addition to this literal code copying, Pivot also extensively copies the
|
||
nonliteral elements of Facet’s structure, sequence and organization, as can
|
||
be seen in the following exemplary screenshots.
|
||
|
||
Stacked Time Series View: Metamarkets’ Facet on left, Imply’s Pivot on
|
||
right.
|
||
|
||
Nested Table View: Imply’s Pivot on the left, Metamarkets’ Facet on right.
|
||
|
||
Pivot is causing immense harm to Metamarkets. Facet is Metamarkets’
|
||
flagship proprietary SaaS product. Imply Data has impermissibly copied its
|
||
structure, sequence and organization in the form of Pivot, which Imply Data
|
||
then improperly open sourced on Github. The entire Pivot repository must
|
||
be taken down immediately in order to prevent further infringement of
|
||
Facet, and further harm to Metamarkets.
|
||
|
||
I have a good faith belief that use of the materials described above on the
|
||
infringing web pages is not authorized by Metamarkets Group, Inc., or its
|
||
agent, or the law.
|
||
|
||
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this
|
||
notification is accurate and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the
|
||
owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
|
||
|
||
Sincerely,
