Now that I think of it, this kind of bugs me. If I could come up with a
low-maintenance way to put "MegaBloks" on every clone.dat brick I would
happily do so. How can LEGO imply ownership of a virtual brick that could,
frankly, be any of a dozen clone brands? I know, of course, that LDraw.org
has always been very (and appropriately) pro-LEGO, but if someone wants to
put LDRAW on a brick stud, and if that same someone isn't passing the brick
off as a "real" virtual LEGO brick, what's the problem? Is it simply a
matter of respect for the brand? If so, that's cool--I just wanted to
clarify that one brand isn't assuming ownership of the entire LCad universe,
both "canonical" and apocryphal.
Dave!
