(...) Yes. (...) The thing that's been holding up the updates is switching to the new licensed distribution. Since not all authors have signed into the new Contributor's Agreement, we've got to clean up the parts library -- probably by removing (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Would it be possible to create old-complete.exe/old...mplete.zip files, and make them available on ldraw.org under the old license, so that people could at least still download the files that get removed? Or better yet, create an install that (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'll just add my two cents here... Any pre CA parts are merely copyrighted. While technically redistributing the non-CA files is a copyright infringement, there is really very little risk that any non-CA author would complain. They did (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
