Actually there is. Anton Raves' library comes immediately to mind. Using

Lego parts in the world...

I did think of Anton Rave's library and LGEO but there aren't a lot of models
which use exclusively parts from LGEO (I have never used Anton's library). Sure
you can provide a counter-example and of course LDraw.org has no control over
renders generated entirely with either of these or BlockCAD.

What I did say was a "typical LDraw file". Now I find it hard to believe that a
"typical" file would contain no parts that are exclusive to the LDraw Parts
Library. I am arguing semantics here and unless we define "typical" in some
meaningful way the argument is really moot but likewise so is your
counter-argument.

But... I have already said that I agree that models are not neccessarily
derivative works and that I am happy to remove them from the Readme bit about
derivative works. I'm not sure what further point these limited counter examples
provide.

(...) They provide exactly that. *Counter examples* to your argumentation. If you don't know what to do with a counter example, that's your problem. In the mathematics world, *one* counter example is enough to make a 'proof' invalid. I invalidated (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
