I have not authorized the repository https://github.com/helloqqwq/pce-island (or any of its contents) to use, modify, or distribute [private] copyrighted work without complying with these license terms, particularly the mandatory attribution obligations. I am submitting this DMCA notice in [private] [private] capacity as the copyright holder.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**

The original copyrighted work is [private] project eIsland (also known as PyIsland / eIsland), a complete desktop application available at:
https://github.com/JNTMTMTM/eIsland
Detailed Description:
eIsland is an original, sleek Apple Dynamic Island-inspired floating widget and desktop application developed for Windows using Electron, React, TypeScript, and Vite.
Key original features include:

Dynamic floating UI with multiple interactive screens (Overview, Weather, Synced Lyrics, Settings, AI Agent, Toolbox, etc.)
Real-time weather display with automatic/manual location detection
Real-time music lyrics synchronization
System utilities, timers, quick actions, and toolbox features
Built-in AI agent workspace
Auto-updater, internationalization (i18n), GSAP animations, custom themes, and a plugin/extension system

The project contains thousands of lines of original source code, custom components, stores, configuration files (e.g. electron.vite.config.ts), and assets. It has been under continuous development by [private] (JNTMTMTM) since early 2026, with over 2,000 commits and 49+ public releases (latest version v26.6.1).
License:
Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3) or later, with additional terms under Section 7(b). Full license:

These additional terms require that all copies, modified versions, and derivative works must retain the following copyright attributions in the source code, UI, binaries, and Appropriate Legal Notices:

Copyright (C) 2026-present JNTMTMTM
Copyright (C) 2026-present pyisland.com

The repository https://github.com/helloqqwq/pce-island is a clear derivative work that copies substantial portions of [private] code and features but does not comply with these mandatory attribution requirements.
I am the [private] copyright owner and have never authorized distribution without full license compliance.

**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**

https://github.com/JNTMTMTM/eIsland

**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. Please clearly state that the entire repository is infringing, OR provide the specific files within the repository you would like removed.**

**Based on the above, I confirm that:**

The entire repository is infringing

**Identify the full repository URL that is infringing:**

https://github.com/helloqqwq/pce-island

**Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice#complaints-about-anti-circumvention-technology">Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology</a> if you are unsure.**

No

**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and <i>must be identified separately</i>. Please read more about <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">forks.</a> As forks may often contain different material than in the parent repository, if you believe any of the repositories or files in the forks are infringing, please list each fork URL below:**

**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**

Yes

**Which license?**

gnu-general-public-license-v3.0

**How do you believe the license is being violated?**

The repository https://github.com/helloqqwq/pce-island is a clear derivative work of [private] original project https://github.com/JNTMTMTM/eIsland, licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3) or later with additional terms under Section 7(b).

This derivative work commits multiple critical violations:

1. Complete removal of required copyright attributions under Section 7(b). The original license requires preserving the following notices in all copies, modifications, derivative works, and Appropriate Legal Notices:
- Copyright (C) 2026-present JNTMTMTM[](https://github.com/JNTMTMTM)
- Copyright (C) 2026-present pyisland.com[](https://pyisland.com)
These attributions are entirely missing from all source code, README, UI (About page), and build files.

2. License substitution: The repository replaces GPLv3 with "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0" in package.json and license.rtf files.

3. Missing proper LICENSE file and failure to include the original GPLv3 text with Section 7(b) terms.

4. Addition of incompatible restrictions (violates Section 10).

5. No declaration of modifications (violates Section 5(a)).

6. Substantial structural and functional similarity in Python backend, C++ SMTC music control, Electron frontend, and core features.

This constitutes a systematic and willful violation of the GPLv3 license and its additional terms.

**What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.**

To bring the repository https://github.com/helloqqwq/pce-island into compliance with the license, the following changes must be made:

Add the complete original LICENSE file (including all additional terms under GPLv3 Section 7(b)) to the root of the repository:
https://github.com/JNTMTMTM/eIsland/blob/main/LICENSE
Restore all required copyright attributions in every copy and modified version, specifically:
Add the following notices prominently in the source code (especially in main files, About section, and any "Appropriate Legal Notices" displayed by the program):
Copyright (C) 2026-present JNTMTMTM
Copyright (C) 2026-present pyisland.com
Ensure these attributions appear in the UI (e.g., settings/about page), binary releases, and any documentation.

Update all derivative code to fully comply with the GPLv3 terms and the additional Section 7(b) requirements. This includes preserving the original copyright notices in all files that were copied or modified from eIsland.

Alternatively, if the repository owner does not wish to comply with the license terms, they may:

Remove the entire repository, or
Make the repository private (so it is no longer publicly distributed).

These actions would resolve the violation of the mandatory attribution obligations.

**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**

NO

**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 <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> 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.**

**I have read and understand GitHub's <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice/">Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice</a>.**
