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 reĀ­iterate, 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, + +[private[ + +Angelic Informatics LTD + +[private]
