Have we heard a POV on this from the Jessimans?
The fact that ldraw.org is sometimes hard to reach for some people mean we
should definitely allow mirrors (maybe the mirrors need to have permission?)
Also, I think LCAD programmers should be allowed to modify the parts (like
Leonardo Zide does) to work with their own programs. Maybe we should
require or request that the programmers make conversion programs (which go
both ways) avaiable. Links back to ldraw.org should definitely be required,
at least to show respect to JJ.
Just my .02...
