Description

The project https://github.com/AlveyCoin/alveychain is a copy of the 0xPolygon/polygon-edge repository from last year.

For example, see the Alvey CLA: https://github.com/0xPolygon/polygon-edge/blob/develop/CLA.md
And the 0xPolygon CLA: https://github.com/0xPolygon/polygon-edge/blob/develop/CLA.md

polygon-edge is released under the Apache 2.0 License, I assume Alvey would be in breach of section 4 clause (c):

You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
the Derivative Works

Proposed solution

Refer to your legal department
