Dear FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition Repository Maintainer,
Subject: Cease and Desist – Copyright Infringement
I write to you on behalf of Oracle Corporation ("Oracle"), an American multinational computer technology corporation headquartered in Redwood Shores, California.
It has recently come to our attention that the code in your repository, FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition, on the platform GitHub, contains code which infringes upon the proprietary software of Oracle Corporation. Our concern revolves around specific sections of the repository which use Oracle's copyrighted code without permission.
The unauthorized and improper use of our copyrighted software not only infringes our rights under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) but also violates the terms of the GNU General Public License under which Oracle's code is licensed. Such unauthorized use can expose users, developers, as well as owners to serious legal risks including but not limited to both civil and criminal penalties.
Oracle respects and encourages the collaborative nature of open-source projects, but it is critical that the rights associated with our intellectual property are maintained and enforced.
Thus, we formally demand that you immediately cease and desist all use of Oracle's copyrighted code within the FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition repository, and certify in writing that such use has ended. We further demand that all instances of Oracle's copyrighted code be removed from the repository, from your systems and from any other places where it might reside.
We expect you to respect our rights in this matter and take prompt action to rectify this situation. Failure to comply with this cease and desist order could result in legal proceedings. Oracle reserves all rights and remedies available to it, including seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, and an order that you pay court costs and attorney’s fees.
This letter does not constitute an exhaustive statement of Oracle’s rights, remedies, claims or defenses, all of which are expressly reserved.
We hope it will not be necessary to resort to legal action and that you will immediately cease the use of Oracle’s copyrighted materials.
Please provide written confirmation of your compliance with this cease and desist order within 10 business days from the receipt of this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Maximillian Coderight
Senior Vice President of Litigation
Oracle Corporation
