The content in question is a license file that includes discriminatory language towards individuals based on gender, race, and sexual orientation. We'd like to give you 24 hours to remove or change that content in your own repository. Please follow the steps in the following article to remove the content from the history:

Once you've done that, please reply to this message to confirm the change. If the content remains up on the repository, we will need to disable it per our Terms of Service.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions whatsoever, about this or anything else.

Thanks,
