It is probably a good idea to serve parts directly from ldraw.org like this. However, I would like to know if this is consistent with the terms of use for the LDraw parts library. Specifically, I seem to remember from previous discussions that James (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Good point. I will check into this. In the meantime, don't anyone plan anything permanent around this function. If this is a problem, it would only apply to the parts in the original LDraw file library, not to additional work done by LCadders. (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) How do you know that? I've never seen any formal terms of use statement for the community created part files. With this lacking, wouldn't it be natural for parts authors to assume that submitted parts follow the same terms of use as the (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I agree that it can be useful to have larger, less frequent updates, and I wasn't trying to suggest that we stop publishing the files in that way.

(...) I still think this is far fetched. The fact that the LDraw library and updates can be downloaded from ldraw.org is merely "coincidental" in my opinion.

What I meant to say, initially, was that with the lack of terms of use statements for community submitted parts, it would be natural to assume that the terms of use for James Jessiman's original parts (...)
