Terry Keller is working on cleaning up the original LDraw distribution. He is
adding LCad-style headers to all of the parts and primitives. They will look
similar to this:
0 Brick 2 x 4
0 Name: 3001.dat
0 Author: James Jessiman
0 Original LDraw Part - LDraw beta 0.27 Archive
Other things Terry's doing:
- taking the *.doc files, and redoing them as .txt and .htm instead.
- adding copyright notices and descriptions for the programs and files in the
distribution.
- adding a LICENSE.TXT file.

Yes and no. From an IP perspective, it makes sense. From a user perspective,
it doesn't make any sense.
