In light of Cams Bricks objection to including their products in the library, which took me by surprise, I'm going to implement a change to the Third Party part policy effective immediately.
Since Third Party parts are often produced by Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community members and in order to keep good community relations, the inclusion of a company's parts in the Official Library is strictly opt in. You must obtain permission from the company prior to submitting LDraw parts of their products to the Parts Tracker. This permission must be communicated to the library admins by a company's official representative. Since this rule was put into effect after the inclusion of some Third Party parts in the Official Library, those official parts will remain unless removal is requested by a company.
I'm willing to tweak the language of this a bit. This policy and the list of companies that have authorized or refused inclusion will be found in the LDraw.org Library Policies document:

I will be working to contact all the affected companies in the coming weeks.
