So do we want to clearly delineate what people can, and cannot, do with the
parts library?  Or is it better to leave it fuzzy?

It is preferable that it is clear what can and can not be
done with the library. Otherwise people will come and ask us
"all the time".

If people have to ask permission before doing certain actions (such as
translating and/or redistributing), who do they ask?  Who can give
permission?

People shouldn't have to ask for permission to do anything
we can agree it is reasonable to let them do.

The answer to questions we can't agree about will have to be
no (sort of), so that shouldn't cause too many difficulties.

Play well,

Jacob
