Greetings,
|
|
|
|
My name is [private]. It grieves me
|
|
to reach out in this manner, but I believe that code of which I am the
|
|
author of has been illegally forked and commandeered. I have read and
|
|
understand Github's Guide to Filing a DCMA Notice, and having read and
|
|
understood the guidelines, I have proceeded to file this claim.
|
|
|
|
The code is question resides at
|
|
[private]. It is a private
|
|
Github repository containing the code written for a project I was
|
|
subcontracted to perform for the Sneakers Agency. The main repo for the
|
|
original code resides at
|
|
[private], also a
|
|
private repository. As you can see, the offending repo (Barbarian's
|
|
[private] repo) was duplicated as of April 27th, 2015. Up until then,
|
|
and substantially afterward, I was the only author on the repo, as I was
|
|
the only individual who wrote and incorporated the software. While there
|
|
are open source components involved in this project (Tesseract OCR, ZBar,
|
|
and others), there is enough proprietary code written to claim both
|
|
ownership and authorship over the project. Among those, specifically, are
|
|
the algorithms used in [private], including but not limited to
|
|
those pertaining to what has been termed as "Lexical processing" (including
|
|
functions "postProcessing", "mostLikelyComputedFromStack", and others) and
|
|
the overall integration of the project (the fact that it utilizes video
|
|
rather than static images, the integration of multiple scanning
|
|
technologies, etc), as well as some of the demo projects written to
|
|
showcase how the framework was to be used. Dedual Enterprises also wrote
|
|
the Android components as well, as they utilized the same logic, only more
|
|
specifically tailored for Android.
|
|
|
|
The offending repository was duplicated by one [private] (github
|
|
username dannichols) of The Barbarian Group. He can be reached at
|
|
[private]
|
|
|
|
[private] had hired The Sneakers Group to create this code. However, as
|
|
of this day, they have not met the terms of their agreement with The
|
|
Sneakers Agency. Barbarian has also refused to pay for services rendered,
|
|
and have taken the next step by appropriating an older version of the
|
|
repository. To what purpose? Only they can speak to that.
|
|
|
|
I currently do not have, nor have ever had, a contract with either
|
|
Barbarian or Sneakers Agency (the current repository owners), where I
|
|
assign my authorship or copyright of what we've termed as the OCR code
|
|
(herein describing the contents of either repository) to anyone else or any
|
|
other entity. Dedual Enterprises is the owner and copyright holder of this
|
|
code. To remedy this infringement, we would need for the offending
|
|
repository to be deleted, any local codebases that have cloned or used the
|
|
offending repository (or any based off of the copyrighted code) to be
|
|
deleted, as well as proof, through the supervision of one of our
|
|
representatives and under perjury under the law, that all traces of the
|
|
offending code have been deleted from [private's] computers, Barbarian's
|
|
computers, and any computers [private] or his agents may have had access
|
|
to in order to duplicate said repository. The fact that they have been able
|
|
to do this once implies they are capable of doing this many times over.
|
|
|
|
It is a sad day when developers work their best and still have to bear
|
|
witness to these tactics. With a pain in my heart for what has happened
|
|
under the current circumstances, *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. Further, **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.*
|
|
|
|
*Thank you for your attention in this matter. *
|
|
|
|
*Sincerely, *
|
|
|
