I don't want to give the impression that I solved this much less that
I did so on my own. The DMCA emails were sent to Ondrej, Aaron and Me
and we discussed what to do about it. We also involved Numfocus who
talked it through with us and brought in legal advice.

Ultimately though even without us really saying anything publicly it
ended up on Hacker News and the publicity from there just seems to
have fixed the problem.

I don't think that's how the DMCA counter claims work. HackerRank have
said that they will give SymPy $25k though and it looks as if they
will follow through on that.

Yes, well DMCA was controversial when it came in. I still think that
the most immediate problem though is the way that GitHub has made a
very asymmetric process that is basically automatic and gives nowhere
enough time to respond.
