After Afterglow Labs LLC obtained control of the repository, it removed copyrighted materials that were never intended for public distribution (including the contents of the docs directory), rewrote the repository history to permanently remove those materials, and has since made the repository private. + +Before those corrective actions were taken, the reported repository copied the repository and continues to publicly produce copyrighted works owned by Afterglow Labs LLC without authorization. + +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.
