I agree - while I have a preference for open-sourced programs, it's the
licensing of the library that I'm more concerned about.

I'm surprised (no, actually amazed) that you do not have Steve Bliss on
that list. To paraphrase Larry, "Any list that does not include Steve
shouldn't even be considered". Steve, being such an integral part of
the LDraw community, cannot be excluded.

While I definitely appreciate Larry's contributions and contacts, I
think other candidates might represent the LDraw community more
accurately. But then, that might just be my opinion.
