+Dear Sir/Madam,
+
+I am a software developer and my account name on GitHub is "max-mtg".
+
+I certify under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner of the intellectual
+property rights and that the information contained in this notice is
+accurate.
+
+I've been developing a project with sources open on Github without
+specifying any license. That means, according to explainations given at
+https://help.github.com/articles/open-source-licensing/#what-happens-if-i-dont-choose-a-license
+that regular copyright laws apply to all works created, and the site
+visitors are allowed to view the source and fork the repository.
+
+Before November, 7 the source code used to be widely avaliable in a
+repository at https://github.com/max-mtg/PoeHud. On the named day I decided
+that I no longer want the sources be open and deleted the original
+repository, then created a new one at the same URL. The history of
+development can still be tracked in forks that belong to other users, for
+example the most up-to-date one at
+https://github.com/TomTer/PoeHud-Input/network.
+
+The very project is based on work of another person, known as Evozer at
+www.ownedcore.com. He does not have copyright claims towards me, since it
+was him who advised to use my project instead of his one (
+https://www.ownedcore.com/forums/mmo/path-of-exile/poe-bots-programs/466947-exilehud-external-overlay-path-of-exile-work-progress.html
+)
+Thus, the scope of itellectual property I own (subject of this letter) are
+modifications to the original project, namely the commits
+from f05fc6ad5c432af91962c7348e32f447fffc0557 (max-mtg authored on 24 Sep)
+though 19482bdefec647334eb7c836ab6fa8268f065e37 (max-mtg authored 18 days
+ago)
+
+The material infringing the copyrighted work is located at:
+https://github.com/Sirais/PoeHud/
+and its forks: https://github.com/EvilMadeFlesh/PoeHud;
+https://github.com/qSharper/PoeHud-1
+
+To be more specific, my work is found in
+
+commit/87a2a2c699512a5d40343e5d2fcd8512e38c01fc,
+
+commit/64209c4c02a1e2d81e29918b9aa2204e62858bc8 and
+
+commit/efd34972d8be4b1edcdff9b170f501091a65d3fe authored by user Sirais.
+
+The attempt to negotiate was not successful:
+In response to https://github.com/Sirais/PoeHud/issues/2 the following
+action was taken:
+https://github.com/Sirais/PoeHud/commit/ca0c77583265089e922a826de223d1d336e3838b
+, forks didn't react at all.
+
+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,
+me.
+
+In order to remedy the infringement the repositories in question have to be
+deleted. Alternativelly, Sirais should start development of their project
+from the point matching the commit
+86cc7158ca5220631754e8ada743a64dcfc689b9, that contains only the code
+written by Evozer. They could develop the same features, but with their own
+efforts, not by copying others work. The GPL v3 license also has to be
+removed.
+
+The two forks listed above have to make the same changes or be deleted.
