I only added that because other people requested, I was happy with the
initial license. Personally I think that #4 is going to scare people
away.

It's better, english is not my native language.

Ok, it seems that a lot of people disagree with it, it will be
removed.

What I had in mind for a contributors agreement would allow new
licenses to be negotiated directly with ldraw.org but I don't think it's
a nice attitude with the authors to do such thing.

I think it would be better to have all authors in the license,
otherwise no company will agree to #4. We can simply add new people to
the list just to get more free copies of the commercial applications.
Imagine that a .DAT importer is included in a program like 3DS or
Autocad, they cost more than $1000. It adds very little value to the
product and would force the company to give away as many copies as we
want because the list is not clear.
