It could probably be argued that since the parts represent physical
things, they [the data in the library] are just "discovered"

not copyrightable.

This is true, however the creation of parts is not merely a mechanical
process -- the author does actually go through a creative process to
model a part.  This is because the author has to choose which details
to model and which primitives to use.

So I would say that most LDrawn parts, except the most basic ones, are
indeed copyrightable.

Ok.  I see your point.
