This pull request deletes the .whitesource configuration file. As noted in the review comment, this action will disable security scanning from Mend and should be done with caution, ensuring a replacement is in place if required.

.whitesource (1-14)

Deleting the .whitesource configuration file will disable the Mend (formerly WhiteSource) security scanner integration. This could prevent the detection of new vulnerabilities in project dependencies. If this is part of a migration to a different security tool, please ensure the new tool is active and configured correctly before removing the old configuration. Disabling security scanning without a replacement poses a security risk.
