Here's the CA v2. If you have criticism, please also offer a proposed solution.
Summary of changes:
- Added a 33% majority for passage instead of a simple majority
- A general reordering and rewording of the entire document.
The LDraw.org Steering Committee
*-*-*-*-*-*
By submitting parts to LDraw.org, the part author (from here forward the
"Author,") agrees to the following terms.
By submitting parts to the LDraw.org, the Author agrees to grant LDraw.org
the non-exclusive right, at no charge, to distribute said parts in
perpetuity, to the public, under the Creative Commons Attribution License.
LDraw.org is under no obligation accept the submitted work and, if accepted,
may suspend distribution for any length of time as it sees fit.
By submitting parts to LDraw.org, the Author grants permission to other
authors to create derivative works of their submission for the purposes of
creating additional parts to submit to the library.
If in the future, LDraw.org leadership deems it necessary to change the
license the Parts Library is distributed under, the Author agrees to the
following process for securing permission to make the change.
Authors will be contacted and asked to respond to the request using any of
the four available responses:
- Approval.
- Rejection.
- Abstain.
- No response.
All reasonable attempts to contact the author will be deemed made when there
are public announcements posted on LDraw.org and LUGNET (where LUGNET is the
primary location of LDraw.org-related public discussion), and an email
message is sent to the author using the address on record.
The vote will be tallied after the 60 day period has expired. A "no
response" will not count towards the total for which a majority will be
measured; however, a "no response" indicates that the author will authorize
his/her submissions under the new license terms, if adopted. A majority
will be deemed reached if the number of approval votes is:
- Greater than the number of rejection votes
- At least 33% of the total vote (approval, rejection, and abstain).
The license change procedure is intended as an assurance to the user that
parts will not disappear from the library in the future unless there are
technical reasons to do so, protecting their investment of time spent
creating and sharing virtual models using the parts.

| Some of my points are relatively minor/subtle, but it's better to bring them up now. (...) Instead of "parts", I would prefer "work" or some other term that's relatively generic. Not all files are actually part files -- besides the sub-part files (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
