The IBL "Studio Neutral" currently included in the glTF Sample Viewer requires CC BY 4.0 attribution. The Viewer would need to show this attribution somehow.

I would suggest adding the IBL credit to the Credits tab, as a separate section under the Model Credits, potentially under a headline like "IBL Credits":
(c) 2020, Amazon, LLC. Distributed by Khronos Group, <GitHub URL for external distribution> License: CC BY 4.0 International, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode

Note that we would need to provide the GitHub URL to the IBL file.

Another option (not preferred) would be to replace it with a CC0 asset such as Studio Small 09 from Polyhaven:
https://polyhaven.com/a/studio_small_09
However the Polyhaven IBLs are not monochrome, nor have they been tested as extensively as the Amazon IBL.

The Amazon license is viewable via the Khronos GitLab (private to Khronos members):
