I dunno if this could apply or not, depends on how LEGO's format is written.
(I don't know details) That's a question for the person who designed their
format (and I doubt they'd discuss it here) ;-)

I believe its the same library, but a different format. Leo, could you clarify?
Also, suggestion, perhaps it might be a good idea for you to clarify that on
your website, if it isn't already. If it is, I must have missed it, or been
too much of an airhead to catch it. ;-)

I think in an acronym is different to them than using the name outright.
Why do you think the name 'brick' is so popular in the community? To
represent LEGO but not say LEGO outright. 'Brickbay,' 'Brickshelf,'
'Brickset,' 'BrickFest,' 'BricksWest' etc etc...

| (...) Well that's kind of my point. LCD is an acronym, just as LUGNET(tm) is. So I don't see LCD standing for "LEGO(r) <mumble> <mumble>" as being bad or wrong per se any more than that LUGNET stands for "LEGO Users Group NETwork" being bad or wrong (...)
