| 24 | +The infringing repositories contain a partial simplified Chinese |

| 45 | +According to the front matter in the largest PDF file in the |

| 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. |

| 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 | + |
