Are you OK with this, with the intent that if ldraw.org decides to stop
publishing, it will be giving up the licenses granted to it by the
contributors?

Right.

Right, with Larry's modification.

Sorry, sloppy short-hand. "free (insert gnu-reference)" was my way of
saying that I was using the term 'free' in terms of 'free software', not
'no charge'.

See Larry's reply. But it would probably be easier/clearer to state:
. 11. If the Library is redistributed without modification,
. then the republisher must grant users of the redistributed Library
. the same rights granted in this User Agreement.
But there's probably a better way to say that last line.
