This page explains how to ask for a listing to be corrected or removed and how to send a copyright notice. Send removal requests and copyright notices to [email protected].
Correcting or removing a listing
If you own or maintain a listed repository, you can ask for our summary or categories to be corrected, for a renamed or moved repository to be updated, or for the listing to be removed. Email [email protected], or use the contact form and choose “Report a problem”. Include:
- the page on our site and the repository (
owner/name) - what you want changed or removed
- how you are connected to the project, for example that you are an owner or maintainer on GitHub
We may ask you to confirm the request from an address linked to the project or through a note in the repository. We may update or remove listings at our discretion.
Star counts, descriptions and release details are read from GitHub automatically. A change on GitHub reaches the site when its data next refreshes.
Sending a copyright notice
Our summaries are written by us, and headlines show only a title, source, date and link. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with:
- your physical or electronic signature
- a description of the copyrighted work, and evidence that you own it or hold an exclusive licence for it
- the exact URL on our site where the material appears
- your name, postal address, phone number and email address
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them
This list covers the elements required by the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)). If you rely on India’s Copyright Act, 1957, also include the details and undertaking that Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013 requires.
We may remove or disable material or links in response to a valid notice, in accordance with applicable law, including 17 U.S.C. 512, section 52(1)(c) of India’s Copyright Act, 1957 with Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013, and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Knowingly false notices or counter-notices can create legal liability under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).
Code inside a GitHub repository
The site does not host the code of listed projects. If code in a GitHub repository infringes your copyright, use GitHub’s DMCA process, since GitHub and the repository owner control it. We may remove our listing of a repository that GitHub has taken down.
Counter-notices
If material you provided was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to [email protected]. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3) it must include:
- your physical or electronic signature
- a description of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
- your name, address and phone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district of your address (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice
The statute sets out what follows a valid counter-notice: it is forwarded to the person who sent the original notice, and the material may be restored after the period set by 17 U.S.C. 512(g) unless that person reports that they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
If the site ever offers accounts or submissions, we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Other complaints
For complaints about the site that are not about copyright, including grievances under Indian law, email [email protected]. We respond within the period required by applicable law.
