There's an OGG file of a 3min 15sec long song included in the repository. First off, you didn't have the legal right to redistribute this song, thus you've opened yourself up to legal action. Secondly, by uploading the file to drupal.org you've potentially opened the site up to legal action. Please remove this file immediately from the repository and find out how to permanently remove both the MP3 and OGG files from the repository.

Hi there, Drupal.org webmaster here. We definitely cannot redistribute this file from Drupal.org. I need you to remove this file within 24 hours, please. If it's not removed by then, I will have to revoke your git access and I really don't want to do that. I look forward to your prompt action on this matter.

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out, I really didn't think of this.

I already removed the file from my local repository (as described here) but I'm not able to force-push the repository to the drupal.org git-server (it gets rejected).

How am I able to do that?

Re #1: chill out. Your comment is both nonsense and unnecessarily rude.

@Jonas Bärtsch - while I disagree with the ultimatum and structure of cweagan's comment it is important to remove the file in a timely manner. It cannot be hosted in Drupal.org's git repository b/c it is not licensed under the GPL. Please re-read http://drupal.org/node/1001544 for details on proper usage of the git repository.

The only way to actually remove the file from the repository history is to delete the project. Luckily it can be re-created easily.

Please comment here that you are happy to have it deleted and someone will do that.

I've been informed in IRC that #1 came off as a little mean. My apologies - I did not mean for it to be unfriendly.
