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 future they may be
downloadable from other web sites and/or methods as well. The move to
ldraw.org was beyond the control of the submitting parts authors, so I
wouldn't say that the licence applies to the submitted parts.
