It is a derivative work of [private] original project FluxRoute (GPLv3). The author previously created [private], which was removed by DMCA on July 20, 2026 for identical violations. He then renamed and rewrote the project as proteus, but it remains a derivative work. Translation to Rust does not change its derivative nature. + +2. The repository's commit history shows it was initially named "bsdpi-*" and later renamed to "proteus-*", confirming it is the same infringing codebase. + +3. The Rust source code contains comments directly referencing [private] original C# files (e.g., "C# оригинал: Proteus.AI/Math/WilsonScore.cs"), which proves intentional copying and translation. + +4. The project copies the unique architectural decomposition (AI/core/engine/UI/updater) and specific algorithms (Thompson Sampling with Beta distribution, Wilson Score lower bound formula, genetic evolution, Network Fingerprinting, backoff policy constants) from [private] work. + +5. The author falsely claims in the README that his repository is the "parent" of AI features, when in fact [private] project predates his (March 7, 2026 vs. his first commit on March 10, 2026 for [private]). + +6. No copyright notices from the original work have been preserved, no modifications have been marked, and the project is distributed without the required GPLv3 notices. + +7. The author previously contributed code to [private] project via pull requests, but those contributions became part of [private] GPLv3-licensed project. He cannot use that code to create a separate project without complying with GPLv3. + +This is a revised notice with new evidence. The previous notice against [private] was successful. The same violations continue in proteus. + +**What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.** + +To comply with GPLv3, the infringer must either (a) remove the entire repository, or (b) restore original copyright notices, mark all modifications, remove false attribution claims, and clearly state that the project is a derivative work of FluxRoute. However, given his previous refusal to correct these violations, removal is the appropriate remedy. + +**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.** + +I do not have personal contact information; the infringer is known as GitHub user mx57. + +**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 have taken fair use into consideration.** + +**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.** + +**I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.** + +**So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.** + +[private] + +**Please type your full name for your signature.** + +[private]
