they seem to have your license there https://github.com/VivumLab/VivumLab/blob/dev/LICENSING/Home... ?

Their license is also seems like GPL, which is compatible with MIT afaik.

Wait a reasonable delay, like one month.

If they don’t comply, it’s time for a DMCA request to GitHub.

If they aren't following the license you released your work under, then they're infringing your copyright, and you could send a DMCA to GitHub to get their repository taken down.
