Which leads to another question.  If you make a model with Lego bricks
mixed with Byggis [1], how will the model be identified as such, and how
will the individual clone pieces be identified as such?  Obviously someone
with a Lego-only collection would not be able to duplicate the model and
might not be able to figure it out.
Well, I never said anything about making the models public in .dat-format, did
I? I said _documenting_ my own work (or my kid's).

[1] God help us never see the day ;)
I think overzealous purism is hurting the hobby more than a spurious clone
piece! BTW, if there is an Almighty God, he must have created the clones too,
right?
I must say I find this purist thing a bit hypocritical!

Happy building,
