(...) 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. (...) (24 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 (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Good catch--I was making assumptions. I really wish the discussion you fired off a few months ago had gone through to completion. BUT, take a look at (URL). It plainly states that the terms around the original LDraw package: (...) The original (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) There is however spomthing to be siad for having monolithic updates in that ensure consitency of part updates. Additonaly not all of us have acess to the Net on a regular basis.

(...) 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. What I was trying to say is this: as things are right now, all part-changes are released at the (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) 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. They used to be downloadable from Terry Keller's geocities homepage, and some time in the (...) (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I agree completely. It is farfetched. I was trying to use the statements already available, as opposed to operating in a total void. Unfortunately, there is no LCAD organization to oversee the handling of the submitted parts. The terms stated (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Should we work towards developing a license for the parts as content separate from the ldraw.org site?

(...) I see. Sorry that I misunderstood you. 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 (...)
