In this case, the author did submit a DMCA takedown request, but the Github user then submitted a DMCA counter notification stating that, under penalty of perjury, they have a good faith believe that the takedown is invalid.

As I understand it (and I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice), the only next step available is to use the US court system to sue for copyright infringement and perjury.

Are we sure of that? GitHub publishes the notices and counter-notices. I can't find any notices there that appear to be for that repository, nor any relevant counter-notices.

I wonder if the author may have sent his request through some other channel than GitHub's DMCA takedown request form?

oh, I see, thanks. :(

it is true that in past issues, the mob would be mad if Github did anything different.
