my  CAD 0,02 : as a general image-viewer, this looks as if it wb useful,
but the name & the logo are really not acceptable in a major distribution.

up here in the great not-so-white north, we're very tolerant:
in practice, you can do what you want, provided you don't hurt anyone else;
we don't have a DCMA, pot is one of Canada's major export crops etc etc.
however, it's not just the gang down in DC searching for enemies to fight,
but many potential Linux users in the 3rd World also,
whose picture of open-source software cb seriously damaged
if distributions start to include violent or sexual names or images.

so let's try to get the author to clean up his image(s)
& offer his product as something which can be used
to catalog holiday scenes, the kiddies, grandma & the dog,
while anyone with pictures of other kinds can easily see what else it can do.
