happy reading and programming,

I'm actually somewhat UNhappy right now.  Maybe I'm a bit of a nut, but
are these the first ldraw extensions that come with a lizence agreement?
I admit the requirements in the agreement are probably a good procedure
to follow, but why do they need to be enforced by a license agreement?

What if all the part authors made similar demands?  I know I've only made
a few parts and primitives, but they're all unencumbered by such demands.
I'm almost inclined to say that they can no longer be used by any software
but mine without written permission.  (I'd never do that, but I hope you
get the idea.)

Copyright the program if you must.  Copywright the documentation if you
want.  Just don't copyright the language used by my data (the model) even
if it's produced by your program.  That makes me angry.
