DMCA Takedown to Sumokoin Github

Guys, as you may already know, in an sudden move, a dev from The Monero Project filed a DMCA to take down Sumokoin's git hosted at Github without prior notice.

To meet the requirements, we'd already amended copyright notices but they disagreed with some copyright dates where we only add the copyright notices to files we had modified as follows:

Copyright (c) 2017, SUMOKOIN
Copyright (c) 2014 - 2017, The Monero Project

Please note that we'd referred to "The Monero Project" at all files before, yet that appeared not enough to some devs there. While they have the right to correct copyright claim at any file they contributed code to, we expected a different approach to resolve disputes (via Issue submission or direct emailing to our devs). DMCA takedown should be the last one to do, I believe, especially for a project under a liberal license and having some noble missions.

For now, we temporarily moved our source code to GitLab: https://gitlab.com/Sumoprojects/sumokoin

The case is being discussed by community at Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7tboly/can_we_get_a_clarification_from_monero_devs_on/

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Break all ties with Monero.

And make an official announcement

Maybe, SUMOKOIN Dev should wonder why the Monero Project have taken this step. You can't pretend to be the author and hope nothing happens.
As 99.9 % is copyright Monero, they are right to demand that. Copyright is MONERO, especially on the files SUMOKOIN DEV never touched. It always comes
back and bites you in the ...
