Maybe it's just me, but if renderings are considered derivative works, we need
to seriously step back and think long and hard about whether or not we are OK
with that. I personally think that forcing renderings to have text on them
acknowledging that the parts came from the LDraw Parts Library is a serious
restriction, and very different from how things are now. My understanding was
that the intent in switching to the CA license was to force people who
distributed the actual part files to be bound by it, NOT for people doing
renderings. Am I mistaken that this was the original intent?
Note that I see how renderings would be considered derivative works; I'm not
arguing about that. I'm just checking to see if this was intentional (which I
don't think it was). If I'm correct that it wasn't intentional, we may want to
add something to the effect that images generated using the library are free and
clear.
