Hi

We do not know who are the people who are behind the site 
www.opensim.net not of the same name on Twitter, but we already send a 
complaint to Google Sites and to Twitter because they are using our 
image (WorldSimTerra) abused, as well as we already send message to the 
owners of this page on Twitter with the same complaint with having no 
response until now our image has been withdrawn.
