I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a recent development regarding your open-source project, Mayan EDMS. It has come to my attention that there is a forked version of your software circulating on the web, and I would like to bring some concerns to your notice.
The fork in question appears to have questionable motives, as it seems to be hiding copyrights and not adhering to the GPL2.0 license under which Mayan EDMS is released. Furthermore, the fork’s author has chosen to conceal their changes, making it difficult for users and contributors to track the modifications made to your original work.
As an open-source advocate and a user of your software, I understand the importance of maintaining transparency and adherence to licensing terms within the community. By not disclosing any changes or proper attribution, this forked version undermines the spirit of collaboration and openness that drives open-source development.
I urge you to take action in addressing this issue promptly. If possible, I recommend reaching out to the maintainer of the fork and requesting they disclose their modifications, properly attribute your work, and adhere to the terms of the GPL2.0 license. This will not only protect your intellectual property but also ensure that the open-source community can continue to benefit from your original contribution.
Should the situation require legal intervention or further assistance, I am more than willing to support you in any way possible. Your dedication to creating and maintaining Mayan EDMS has undoubtedly made a significant impact on countless organizations like ours. It is essential to safeguard the integrity of your work and uphold the values of open-source development.
Thank you.
Gualberto Furtado, J.D.
