This is crazy talk. People sign paintings, but nobody is ever gonna
staple a note on the back of a painting that says, "This painting was
created with ACME brand paints and brushes."
Please don't insert any such crazy demand in the ldraw license. I
think it's quite enough to suggest on the ldraw website, and/or in a
README file in the ldraw distribution that it's a *nice idea* to
mention the source of the ldraw parts when you distribute images
created with them.
The license should be focused on the part files only, not on images
created with the parts.
Have fun,
Don
