+
+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.

+The only contact information I have about the infringers is the one
+derived from their GitHub page (please see the preceding links above).
+
+Please send me a prompt response indicating the actions you have taken
+to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
