AFAIK it hasn’t been done because the mascot is placed there as some sort of branding by the creator of Anubis. In its website it’s explained that you can change or remove the mascot for a fee if you plan to use it for corporate purposes.
While this is true, it’s also worth noting that the original is permissively licensed. You can change it if you want, it’s just that most people don’t bother. Presumably changing the image would be as simple as replacing the three files in /web/static/img, but maybe that would look weird for some reason.
You’re completely right, I guess it’s kind of weird to fork it just to replace an image. If it’s MIT you can just replace the image and not bother about publishing such simple change, right?
I believe that even if it were GPL licensed you could do that, since you’re only running it on your server, not publishing it. Of course, for this very reason, most copylefted server software uses the AGPL, which does require source code of a network service to be made available.
