I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have 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 consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located (if in the United States, otherwise the Northern District of California where GitHub is located), and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
Additionally, I believe the DMCA was improperly filed, because the repository in question is open source code licensed for distribution under the GPLv2. With respect to that claim, I am providing the following quotes from AlgoTrader documentation (with links in case the documentation is removed, as it appears the AlgoTrader creators are trying to re-license their GPLv2-licensed code for commercial gain):
a. (From http://www.algotrader.ch/): "AlgoTrader ... Unlike other algorithmic trading platforms, it has a robust, open-source architecture"
b. (From http://fidata.org/en/existing_products): "AlgoTrader ... License: GPLv2 ... Source: open."
c. (From http://community.trading-gurus.com/threads/135-The-Pros-and-Cons-of-AlgoTrader and written by an AlgoTrader developer: "I'm a member of the AlgoTrader development team"): "AlgoTrader is a new open source trading platform" ... "Pros ... 3. Because of #2 it uses the GPL 2.0 open source licence. If you're a fan of LGPL this might be con #2 of course."
