23+
24+
The infringing repositories contain a partial simplified Chinese
25+
translation of FLP-NM, including .tex, .pdf, and .jpg files that infringe
26+
on the FLP-NM copyrights. The master infringing repository is:
27+
28+
https://github.com/a358003542/feynman-lectures-one
29+
30+
The master infringing repository has been forked 11 times and copies of the
31+
infringing files can be found on all of the following GitHub repositories:

According to the front matter in the largest PDF file in the
46+
a358003542/feynman-lectures-one repository, 费曼物理学讲义第一卷上.pdf ("Feynman
47+
Lecture on Physics Volume I.pdf")
48+

本文档的图片和公式都来自原英文官网在这里
50+
51+
("The pictures and formulas in this document are taken from the original
52+
English official website")
53+
54+
While in file 费曼的物理学讲义第一卷第27章几何光学.pdf ("Feynman's Handout of Physics,
55+
Volume I, Chapter 27, Geometrical Optics.pdf") one finds

60+
61+
In addition to confirming that "the pictures and formulas" (as well as
62+
several tables) in the infringing repositories have been copied from the
63+
online edition of FLP-NM, I have confirmed that the Chinese text in the
64+
files is a direct translation of FLP-NM. Thus the files in this repository
65+
not only infringe on the FLP-NM copyrights, they violate the exclusive
66+
FLP-NM licenses held by Basic Books and Shanghai Scientific & Technical
67+
Publishers.
68+
69+
FLP-NM is not under an open source license.
70+
FLP-NM is under copyright and may not be reproduced or distributed in whole
71+
or in part in any form (including in any language) without permission of
72+
the copyright holder or their licensees. No such permission or license has
73+
been granted for any copy of FLP-NM on any of GitHub's servers, including
74+
all those listed above. The only solution for these numerous infringements
75+
is to remove all of the infringing repositories from GitHub's servers.
76+
77+
I do not have any personal contact information for the infringers. The
78+
infringer's Github username is included in the Github link above. For
79+
clarity, they are:

I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described

102+
103+
I confirm that I have read your Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice:
