Before access to it was disabled, the material was available at fmap/flp.mobi.

A statement under penalty of perjury that the Subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

I interpret the basis of the take-down to be (1) Perseus holding the copyright of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, (2) files in the repository infringing upon that material. I don't believe either basis is valid: (1) Caltech hold the copyright, Perseus only have print publishing rights, the integrity of the notice relies on Perseus having been authorised to act on behalf of Caltech; (2) none of Caltech's content is included in the repository, all it contains are a set of scripts to process material provided by others.

The Subscriber's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the Subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district of California, or if the Subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which GitHub may be found, and that the Subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification or an agent of such person.
