I don't know. I think when something is statically linked you
can recover the original code with a disassembler. It's really
still there in a different form. There's no way to disassemble
a picture into the ldraw code without using the ldraw code itself,
and that would be cheating. Therefore it's a product of the ldraw
code, just like a calculation is the product of a mathlib.
For the record. IANL either.
Enjoy,
