(...) Well, it's not really voting about my copyright, it's voting about retroactively accepting changes to the agreement between myself and LDraw.org. My issue is the checkbox pretty much invalidates the entire 'making changes' section of CA. If a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I admit my turnout values may have been optimistic :) But I still feel that a greater than 50.00000something percent positive vote ought to be needed to move away from something as good as the ShareAlike license.

  Mac Brick CAD 3 Testers Wanted
 
To the Mac users, I've begun writing MBC 3 (it will be a bit more time before it is published). This is a ground-up rewrite and incorporates an entirely new rendering system.

  Re: Moving the License Forward
 
(...) I agree with the timeout, and that the authors need to maintain their email addr on record updated.

  Re: Moving the License Forward
 
(...) OK - this is a timing thing - we can fine tune the qualification criteria. What I was trying avoid was people who have expressed a desire to author parts, yet never got around to doing so, having a strong influence in the distribution license. (...)
