+Hi,
+
+As the forwarded email below shows, I received a takedown notice today for
+the content at
+
+http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/apt-cyg
+
+The takedown is not credible, and this email is a counter-notice to ensure
+that my copyrighted content remains publically available in the form I
+published it.
+
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that any
+material removed or disabled as a result of this takedown notice would be
+the result of a mistake or misidentification or misattribution of copyright.
+
+I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
+district in which my address is located, and I will accept service of
+process from the person who provided the DMCA notification or an agent.
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's guide to filing a DMCA counter-notice.
+
+I am certain that I own the content that is being contested for these
+reasons among others:
+
+1 - Line 6 of the linked file identifies my company, Trans-code Design, as
+the copyright holder. I am the sole proprietor of Trans-code Design.
+
+2 - The document at https://code.google.com/archive/p/apt-cyg/ contains the
+original version of this project, which was later migrated to GitHub.
+Inspecting the source available there shows that it is an early version of
+the same project and that I am the copyright holder.
+
+3 - The only substantial part of this project is the single file (
+http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/apt-cyg) that the
+complainant identified, and comparing this file with prior versions on both
+GitHub and Google Code shows that I am the original author of 100% of the
+code, and that various maintainers have made minor changes since that time.
+The claim made by the complainant that they own 94% of the code in this
+file is not credible.
+
+There is no justification for a takedown notice, nor am I a "hostile user."
+The complainant was removed as a collaborator to protect the project after
+they threatened to delete files.
+
+I appreciate your taking the time to look at this issue carefully.
+
+Regards,
+
