Line 1 introduces a bullet list but currently ends abruptly at “GitHub”, making the list read grammatically incomplete. Consider ending line 1 with a colon (or otherwise completing the sentence) so lines 2–3 are clearly introduced.

Yes, I am the copyright holder.

**Are you submitting a revised DMCA notice after GitHub Trust & Safety requested you make changes to your original notice?**

No

**Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?**

GitHub

**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

I am the [private] [private] and copyright holder of the original work. [private] created the entire codebase, game design, and all associated creative content [private], and published it under [private] [private] account ([private]) on February 7, 2026.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**

The original work is "桃源乡 (Taoyuan)", a browser-based text-driven farming simulation game written in Vue 3.5 + TypeScript. The work includes original source code, game design data (38 crop types, 19 animal species, 60 fish species, 120 mine levels, 34 NPCs, 113 recipes, 109 achievements, 28-day season cycle), UI design system (color palette #1a1a1a/#c8a45c, zpix pixel font, 768px responsive breakpoint), and all creative content.

The allegedly infringing repository (https://github.com/bygas/gaKoy) is a direct copy of [private] work. The infringing party originally forked [private] repository, then removed the fork relationship and re-published it as an independent repository to conceal the origin. The infringing repository:

Lines 28 and 30 appear to contain an invisible Unicode character (commonly U+FEFF / zero-width no-break space). These can create noisy diffs and tooling issues; replace them with normal blank lines.

Replicates the identical file and directory structure (28 root-level items with matching filenames);
Copies all numerical game design constants verbatim (identical crop/fish/NPC/achievement counts);
Copies the exact UI design values (same hex colors, font, breakpoints, and 26 Pinia stores);
Removes all attribution to the original author (setube / [private]), in direct violation of the CC BY-NC 4.0 license requirement that attribution must be provided;
Removes or alters the original LICENSE file, obscuring the CC BY-NC 4.0 terms.
The only visible modifications are a superficial thematic reskin (replacing Chinese cultural references with an "Anatolian" aesthetic) and an inflated commit count (230 vs. the original's 58).

**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**

**We ask that a DMCA takedown notice list every specific file in the repository that is infringing, unless the entire contents of the repository are infringing on your copyright. Please clearly state that the entire repository is infringing, OR provide the specific files within the repository you would like removed.**

**Based on the above, I confirm that:**

The entire repository is infringing

**Identify the full repository URL that is infringing:**

https://github.com/bygas/gaKoy

No

**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and <i>must be identified separately</i>. Please read more about <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">forks.</a> As forks may often contain different material than in the parent repository, if you believe any of the repositories or files in the forks are infringing, please list each fork URL below:**

The notice indicates the work is under an “open source license” but later references CC BY-NC 4.0, which is generally not considered an open-source license due to the non-commercial restriction. If this is meant to be internally consistent, update either the open-source answer or the license selection to match the intended classification.

No attribution: The license requires clear attribution to the original author (setube / [private]) and a link to the original repository. The infringing repository contains none.
License terms altered: The original CC BY-NC 4.0 license file has been removed or replaced, concealing the terms under which the work was published.

**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.**

The repository should be taken down entirely, as the infringer deliberately removed the fork relationship to obscure the origin of the copied code. Alternatively, at minimum: (1) restore full attribution to the original author and repository; (2) restore the original CC BY-NC 4.0 LICENSE file; (3) clearly indicate that the work is derived from https://github.com/setube/taoyuan.

**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**

GitHub username: bygas
GitHub profile: https://github.com/bygas
No other contact information is known.

**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 <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> 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.**
