If you redistribute a modified version, please include a file that documents changes you have made to the library. ===================================================================== It's pretty basic, and open. But I still think it's thin on covering the IP of the various parts files -- who owns each file, the author(s) or ldraw.org? But that might be better covered with a separate document... I'm assuming we'd distribute the document in all the updates, as /ldraw/license.txt. > And why didn't we just use it? Because I dropped the ball, why else? I was supposed to attempt to contact all the part authors and get their buy-in on the license. Which I didn't do. Steve
