<snip some cogent questions>

Thank you for listening to my concerns.

I'd make the following comments on your post, Todd:

1) Are you sure the new colour is the SCALA gray, or even that the
lightest
gray is the new gray?  I'm thinking of ordering one of these for plates,
and
obviously I'd like more of the newest colour :)

2) I'd guess that if Lego's legal text is too restrictive, we could do
the
following:

  - use your mosaic generator to generate a 44x44 image in 5 colours
  - count the number of each plate
  - generate an image containing the right number of plates, and order
it.
  - take apart Lego's set (since we're not prevented from decomposing
it,
    I believe)
  - build a mosaic using your instructions.

I pretty much intend to do this anyway, to make images in different
sizes
than 44x44 or multiples thereof.

In particular, the "Lego Mosaic Product" is not to be used for blah
blah...
but since they don't explicitly mention the component parts, and since
Lego
is clearly made of component parts, I think that we're in the clear
there.

3) I expect we could convince Lego to alter their legal text a bit.
Most
of it is pretty reasonable.

4) I couldn't help but notice that on the printout, LEGO is not marked
(tm)
anywhere.  Odd.

(...) No, I'm not sure; it was an educated guess. However, I just spoke with someone at LEGO who said the color wasn't recently new. So I think it's a reasonably good bet that it's either the LEGO SCALA light warm gray -- the one that came out about (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) This is cool! It looks like the SCALA gray might be available in bricks. I have some non-trivial concerns about the User Agreement, though: (URL) quote the User Agreement in its entirety below, interspersed with good faith commentary. UA> By (...)
