My name is Wesley Wolfe. A site hosted on an IP address owned by Multiplay
(ip redacted) is infringing on my software copyright by the distribution
of a software known as CraftBukkit.
Original content can be found at
https://github.com/Wolvereness/Bukki...or=Wolvereness
https://github.com/Wolvereness/Bukki...a89a64614b6327
and the appropriate license for previously mentioned content can be found at
https://github.com/Wolvereness/Bukki...e7/LICENCE.txt
The provided license requires the use of included or linking code to
provide the original source under the GNU GPL license version 3, or any
later version. An official notice has been sent to Mojang AB, whereas the
Chief Operating Officer, Vu Bui, responded with the clear text:
Mojang has not authorized the inclusion of any of its proprietary
Minecraft software (including its Minecraft Server software) within the
Bukkit project to be included in or made subject to any GPL or LGPL
license, or indeed any other open source license
As the Minecraft Server software is included in CraftBukkit, and the
original code has not been provided or its use authorized, this is a
violation of my copyright. I have a good faith belief the distribution of
CraftBukkit includes content of which the distribution is not authorized by
the copyright owner, it's agent, or the law.

http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/ - links to 45 pages, with
infringing content beginning on craftbukkit build #1597 and currently
ending at craftbukkit build #3115, but please allow me not to enumerate
them all
http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craft.../00703_1.1-R1/ (the
first infringing build)
I have a good faith belief that the above information is accurate and that
I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's
