Damien,
I would appreciate if you don't put words in my mouth.

In my email to you I asked 3 things:
- Rename the program to something else - from what I understand, there
is nothing in your program that is Peeron specific - it's much more
generic than that, dealing with any set of bricks. Naming it in a way
that implies a tie to Peeron is confusing.
- An explanation of what functionality the program offers, since I
didn't understand what it does. I'm still not sure, but I think it's
a way to allow people to write code to manipulate sets of bricks?
- Not to redistribute the entire Peeron database with it - instead, I
suggested including a few inventories as a sample of how they can be
written.
I still hope to understand what this actually DOES?

I think you _should_ release your script, I never asked you not to! I
sounds like it might be a useful tool, certainly!

Why not put up the code so people can try it out? Your program with a
number of sample inventories and LDraw files should be able to show what
it does?
I hope this helps clear up any misunderstandings.
