+Github Inc,
+
+Earlier this year we locally cloned one of our private repositories and then published it back to the Github site.
+This was likely done in the old version of the desktop client, and caused the cloned repository to be become
+publicly visible i.e. it was no longer treated as a private repository.
+
+As soon as this oversight was identified the status of the repository was changed to private, and the
+necessary code changes were made.
+
+However, during it's public period the repository was cloned by another Github user, and so remains in the
+public domain under their account.
+
+To be clear, it was never our intention for this repository to be made publicly available, and the code that it
+contains is not covered by any open source licences i.e. it remains covered by the usual copyright provisions.
+It is not our belief that the user concerned had any ill intent, but we have not been able to reliably identify him
+in order to ask that he remove the repository from public view. We acknowledge that he likely has a local copy
+of the code, but our specific concern here is the published version on the Github site.
+
+We are therefore formally requesting that you remove the unauthorised fork of this repository under your
+DMCA Takedown Policy.
+
+The originating repository can be found here (not to be removed):
+
+https://github.com/notreadbyhumans/toog
+
+The forked copy can be found here (to be removed):
+
+https://github.com/jameswfoster/toog
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+To re­iterate, the user concerned has not done anything wrong, and we do not wish any action to be taken
+against him, but simply want our legacy code removed from the public domain.
+
+If you need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.
+
+Yours sincerely,
