Understood, no worries who added it!  :)

The history of our code authorship generally doesn’t ever matter — it’s each 
dev's responsibility to improve things when they notice.  It’s most efficient 
to fix problems when they’re in our locus of attention, even if they were not 
originally scoped.  The contributor responsibilities section in the HACKING 
file (particularly point #5) talks specifically about fixing issues when we 
find them.

If they did come from flaticons.net, then that about be a different issue.  I 
see no license statement on that site, which means we legally cannot use them 
without written permission. (“Royalty-free” is not a license).  I sent them an 
e-mail but somehow doubt I’ll get a response.  In the meantime, we should 
incorporate plans to replace/remove them before the GSoC is over since making 
OGV production-ready is a primary goal.

Looks better!

Agreed.

Ditto questions here about the source of the iconography.  Looks nice, but we 
the source and/or license of those icons also needs to be checked.

Deconstructing the paragraph, each sentence paraphrased is:

1) "OGV is a web app for viewing and sharing 3D models”.  There is no new info.
2) “BRL-CAD has designed this package…”  Not sure I see a useful point.
3) “Whatever formulated offline can be viewed online, just needing a .g file.” 
Only new info is .g file, which may not remain a requirements — minor.
4) “Like and comment on hosted models.”  No new info (it’s the byline)
5) “It can be viewed …” Ditto redundancy.

So, really the only new info is a minor one (and repeated later below) so I 
suggest just eliminating the section entirely.  Of course, this will make “OGV 
is not simply only a viewer” be awkward coming next.  I suggest removing that 
as well.  Less is more.

Looking a lot better to me.  The tiny icons in the top-right probably are 
indicators for other sections that will later be desirable, but they should be 
considered one at a time.  For example, it may make sense later to have a 
section about browsing models already uploaded (maybe, implies gallery view 
which does not yet exist).

Cheers!
Sean
