So I used to host the wonderful ZXing.Net project as a mirror on github so I could submodule it more easily in my ZXing.Net.Mobile project.

I received a DMCA Takedown notice (passed along by GitHub) from Qualcomm telling me the following url's contained infringing content (note I'm pointing to the content hosted on the original zxingnet project site since they're still up at this time):

Here's the original Takedown notice:
https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2014-07-02-Qualcomm.md

I don't see anything wrong with the content of these files! What gives Qualcomm?!

TL;DR
Basically the code in these files are nothing but 'glue' or 'binding' code to be able to use the binaries from C# apps that Qualcomm themselves ship!

They pretty much just DMCA'd a useful demo that shows how to use their own products...

Good going guys!

So, the code files DO have a copyright notice on them, I suppose they have some right to take them down, however, it's really just bad form...
