Someone made a fork of a personal repository
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.
A user that I do not know and has 0 otherwise GitHub activity made a fork of my repository for my school assignments in my undergrad courses. I'm assuming this is so that they can either copy my coursework or perform some sort of malicious act with it since technically, for this reason, it is suggested we do not make these repos public. I have since made it private but it still exists on his profile and I would like it removed.
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.
https://github.com/lukeD-B/School-Assignments
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.
This is the only one: https://github.com/lukeD-B/School-Assignments
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?
Not sure exactly.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal? Can the repository be made private?
Remove the Fork. My version of the repository has since been made private
Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.
No way of contacting said person or knowing who they are
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 have taken fair use into consideration.
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.
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.
So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.
