Suspected plagiarism

[jamesd-uk]

Hi,

It has recently come to my attention that a user has reuploaded your Pillars.js repository onto GitHub with the MIT license removed. In addition, he credits only himself at the bottom of the Readme. The user also claims the work to be his own in his online portfolio. This user has gained a reputation for plagiarism, and has previously been involved in a case which resulted in GitHub needing to forcefully remove the repository. I was unable to contact you via email, unfortunately.

It also looks like the package.json proves @The-Cheese-Eater's point 😠

Hi James and Alex,
I'm Chelo Quilón, contributor in the Pillars.js project.

Effectively "James Gallagher" has plagiarized the Pillars.js project, He
has removed MIT licence and he has attributed himself the property of this
software.

What can we do?
How can we apply this repository's removal due to this fact?

Regards,
and thanks for warning.
