From my recollection (and this is digging back, you made me think here) I went
off of the LDraw.exe LICENSE.TXT. The clause I presumed gave permission to
publish commercially was:
--
USAGE PROVISIONS:
Permission is granted to the user to use the software and
associated files in this package to create and render images. The
use of this software for the purpose of creating images is
completely free. The creator of a model file and the image created
from the model file, retains all rights to the image and model
file they created and may use them for any purpose commercial or
non-commercial.
--
...since the library itself had no governing license at the time, this I believe
was the only license that granted permission.
