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, + +[Private]
