What is not considered a Derivative work?
- * Rendered images generated from the LDraw library. Rendering here
- covers any conversion of a 3D model file into a 2D image.
-
- * Model files containing references only (the source code for the
- part may NOT be included in any form) to parts in the official
- LDraw Parts Library at the time of their creation. Part files
- which are marked as unofficial at the time of creation may be
- included in full in the model file. If the sole or main purpose (as
- determined by the LDraw SteerCo in consultation with the potentially
- offending author and LDraw community at large) of the Model file
- is to include large numbers of unofficial parts then it WILL be
- considered a derivative work.
-
- * Alternative libraries of parts which LDraw.org does not own or
- enforce the copyright. If some or more of the parts in the library
- are converted from the LDraw Parts Library then they must be
- considered a Derivative work.
