Problem/Motivation

Over the last 2 years there has been an unresolved legal dispute regarding the original release of Message Private module. This core issue remains unresolved and there is a copyright disagreement. However, an agreement has been reached to avoid legal issues.

Agreement is to remove the Drupal 7 releases (only) of Message Private. help@drupal.org was emailed twice in September this year to keep this private, but we are now forced to make it public here.

If possible, it would be best to address this issue privately.

Thank you in advance.

Proposed resolution

Please remove all Drupal 7 releases (whole repository at present) for Message Private: https://www.drupal.org/project/message_private/releases

This will allow for removal of D7 branch and will mitigate legal issues.

Once the releases have been removed the 7.x-1.x branch will be removed entirely with no history available to the public.

Remaining tasks

  1. Remove Drupal 7 releases
  2. Remove 7.x-1.x branch

I've deleted the project which also removes all code associated with it. Feel free to recreate the project at any time. The namespace might be blocked for a little while until the git repository is removed (currently "queued for deletion").

I am changing the component, since the other one is going to be removed. I apologize for bumping the report.

Thank you very much, really appreciate the speedy reaction on this. It would be great if the issue itself could me made private also.

(Changing to minor to reduce alarm when bumping)
