I have investigated each individual case and I have noticed that the
|
|
projects listed above are using source code copied from the project
|
|
https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF
|
|
originally hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ but all
|
|
original notices about author, copyright and license were removed or
|
|
replaced.
|
|
|
|
The first commit on the copied PARENT project is indicated as 30 March
|
|
2012, so it can be safely compared against TCPDF version 5.9.153
|
|
released 28 March 2012
|
|
(https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/tree/9c8c5f961f858aa85ecfec130d2935884ca39eb8):
|
|
|
|
The following files present in the PARENT and FORKS1 projects appears to
|
|
be almost verbatim copies of the original one, with the exception of the
|
|
legal notices removed (author, copyright and license):
|
|
|
|
* barcodes.php
|
|
* datamatrix.php
|
|
* pdf417.php
|
|
* qrcode.php
|
|
|
|
The original code is released under the GNU LGPLv3 license and
|
|
copyrighted by [Private] - Tecnick.com LTD, but none of this
|
|
information is present in the copied files.
|
|
https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/blob/9c8c5f961f858aa85ecfec130d2935884ca39eb8/LICENSE.TXT
|
|
|
|
In the projects listed as FORKS2 the infringing file are:
|
|
|
|
in https://github.com/paterik/BGBarcodeGenerator and
|
|
https://github.com/wodka/BGBarcodeGenerator
|
|
|
|
* Base1DBarcode.php
|
|
* Base2DBarcode.php
|
|
* modules/Datamatrix.php
|
|
* modules/pdf417.php
|
|
* modules/qrcode.php
|
|
|
|
in https://github.com/ZeusbaseWeb/barcodegen
|
|
|
|
* third_party/datamatrix.php
|
|
* third_party/dns1dbarcode.php
|
|
* third_party/dns2dbarcode.php
|
|
* third_party/pdf417.php
|
|
* third_party/qrcode.php
|
|
|
|
The options to remedy the infringment are:
|
|
|
|
1. delete the project - this seems the best option for the PARENT and
|
|
FORK1 projects;
|
|
2. if the license is compatible with GNU-LGPLv3, replace the infringing
|
|
files with the original ones, or reinstate the original notices (author,
|
|
copyright, license);
|
|
3. delete the infringing files and use the new external library
|
|
https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-barcode (originally based on the
|
|
same code).
|
|
|
|
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 resolve this matter as soon as possible.
