To GitHub Copyright / DMCA Agent,

I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.

My name is [private]. I am submitting this revised notice
concerning source code from the NovaAI project hosted at:

https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI

The allegedly infringing repository is:

https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI

Alleged infringer / GitHub organization:
NekoSuneProjects
[private]

Copyright ownership and authorization

I am the [private] and [private] of CacheNetworks and the person
responsible for the [private] [private] account and the NovaAI
repository. [private] own the copyright in the original NovaAI source code and
original contributions identified in this notice, including the
CacheNetworks copyright interest stated in NovaAI's MIT license. I
therefore have authority to submit this DMCA notice directly as the
copyright owner.

For additional verification, the [private] account maintaining the
original repository has administrative control over
[private]. I am using [private] as [private]
reporting/contact email. The fact that this is not a
[private] [private] does not mean I am a third-party reporter
or unauthorized agent.

1. Copyrighted work

The copyrighted work is the NovaAI software project and its original
source code, published by CacheNetworks at:

https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI

GitHub metadata shows that the NovaAI repository was created on April 9, 2026.

NovaAI is distributed under the MIT License. Its license contains the
copyright notice:

Copyright (c) 2026 CacheNetworks

The MIT permission grant is expressly conditioned on the above
copyright notice and the MIT permission notice being included in all
copies or substantial portions of the Software.

2. Material I allege infringes

I allege that substantial portions of:

https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI

reproduce NovaAI source code while failing to preserve the required
CacheNetworks copyright and MIT permission notice.

The NekoSuneAI repository was created on August 3, 2026, after NovaAI,
and its own GitHub repository description states that it is "A
rebrand/refocus of NovaAI."

Representative example:

Original:
https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI/blob/main/novaai/audio_input.py

Allegedly infringing/reproduced version:
https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI/blob/main/nekosuneai/audio_input.py

These files contain the same implementation across large portions of
the file. In the opening portion, a conspicuous change is the
replacement of the project name "NovaAI" with "NekoSuneAI" in a
comment while the surrounding implementation remains substantially the
same.

Additional files have identical Git blob hashes between the NovaAI
package and the renamed NekoSuneAI package, showing byte-for-byte
identical content, including representative files such as:

NovaAI:
https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI/blob/main/novaai/__init__.py
https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI/blob/main/novaai/__main__.py
https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI/blob/main/novaai/bootstrap.py

NekoSuneAI:
https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI/blob/main/nekosuneai/__init__.py
https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI/blob/main/nekosuneai/__main__.py
https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI/blob/main/nekosuneai/bootstrap.py

The current NekoSuneAI root LICENSE instead contains the GNU General
Public License v3.0:

https://github.com/NekoSuneProjects/NekoSuneAI/blob/main/LICENSE

The original NovaAI MIT license and CacheNetworks copyright notice are
available here:

https://github.com/cachenetworks/NovaAI/blob/main/LICENSE

I did not find the required CacheNetworks copyright and MIT permission
notice preserved in the NekoSuneAI repository during my investigation.

I am not alleging that the MIT License prohibited all copying or
modification. My complaint is that the authorization granted by the
MIT License is conditional on preservation of the original copyright
and permission notice, and I believe the reproduced NovaAI material is
being distributed without compliance with that condition.

3. Requested remedy

To remedy the alleged infringement, the affected user should either:

(a) preserve and reproduce the original NovaAI MIT copyright and
permission notice, including "Copyright (c) 2026 CacheNetworks," with
all copies or substantial portions of NovaAI-derived software as
required by the MIT License, while making clear which portions are
their own modifications; or

(b) remove the NovaAI-derived source code for which they are not
complying with the applicable license conditions.

If the affected user does not remedy the license violation, I request
that GitHub disable access to the infringing material as appropriate
under GitHub's DMCA policy.

4. Contact information

Legal name: [private]
Email: [private]
Telephone:[private]
Physical address: [private]

5. Required statements

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 fair use 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.
