I agree. I just don't think we've come up with a better solution yet. Hopefully
someone clever will spot the one we've missed so far! The problem with one
library is that, to be fair, it sort of feels like we can't just wing it and say
all the old stuff is OK without seeking some sort of permission from the authors
(or their estates... sigh)
Although you can argue that people agreed to the distribution tacitly, because
they submitted parts via the newsgroups or via the Parts Tracker...

Ya, that would not be good. Not good at all.

Going forward that seems like it ought to be addressed if we can.
