I'm with James on this one. Keep ldraw.org as the domain name. Call the
organization LDraw.org. The parts library should be the LDraw Parts
Library.
Usually when I say/write "LDraw", I'm using the term as shorthand for "the
LDraw family of programs". If I actually mean LDraw or LEdit, I'll be very
specific about it.
Also, LDraw is more unique/different/specific to LEGO-fandom than LCAD.
Generally, I view LDraw and LEdit as:
A. Benchmarks by which to measure compatibility.
B. The 'basic software' that's included in the starter package. In other
words, it's not actually the software that you want to use, but it's always
there as a standard. Maybe a fallback.
