We definitely haven't granted a closed license to a naked avatar
viewer if that's the question here.
If anyone who has a patch in the viewer has already contacted the
person offering this viewer, please consider forwarding any response
you receive to our legal eagles. You have just as much standing to
engage them about any GPL violation as we have, and may have the
freedom to move more quickly here. But please do start with an attempt
to educate, as they may not realize it if they really are violating
the only license that would allow them to redistribute our/your work.
The goal should be correcting the situation, not piling on.
