- - Please note that GitHub will *not* automatically disable [forks](/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork) when disabling a parent repository. If you have investigated and analyzed the forks of a repository and believe that they are also infringing, please explicitly identify each allegedly infringing fork. Please also confirm that you have investigated each individual case and that your sworn statements apply to each identified fork. For the rare occasions in which you are alleging copyright infringement in a full repository that is actively being forked, and at the time that you submitted your notice, you identified all existing forks of that repository as allegedly infringing, we would process a valid claim against all forks in that network at the time we process the notice. In addition, if the reported network that contains the allegedly infringing content is larger than one hundred (100) repositories and thus would be difficult to review in its entirety, we may consider disabling the entire network if you state in your notice that, "Based on the representative number of forks you have reviewed and subsequently listed in your notice, I believe that all or most of the forks are infringing to the same extent as the parent repository." Your sworn statement would apply to this statement.
