(...) I think we have a little latitude, since TYCO, MegaBloks, Block-Men, and others have produced actual bricks of nearly identical dimensions as LEGO. It seems to me that if an actual product can be produced with such close similarity, a virtual (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Another trick I use is to open PARTS.LST in a text editor while I work in LEdit. That way, when I need a specific part, I can do a search in the text editor for "tile 2 x 2" or "torso" to zip right to the category. Of course, you have to have (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I've found a solution for the "wading through non-interesting parts" with LEdit. What I do is simply to edit the file PARTS.LST and put all the parts I use most frequently first. That way I can easily grab the plates and technic items when I (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) But isn't the GPL a case of GNU throwing out some verbiage and saying, 'OK, here's an example, use it or modify or whatever', and authors/publishers actually copying the license, and putting it on their own work.
