LDraw and LGEO licences

[Michael Horvath]

I'm interested to understand the licensing arrangement for the LGEO library, especially as this is different to the LDraw library

The statement at the top of each of the LGEO inc files says:
"It is provided for private non-commercial use only."

I'm curious to understand this limitation, as the majority of the LDraw parts are released under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence 2.0 which allows commercial use.

Is Lutz Uhlmann still the primary maintainer of this library? What are the options for requesting a less restrictive license?

BTW: I noticed that the main reference on the LDraw website to the LGEO library is currently a dead link:
http://www.digitalbricks.org/lgeo.html

How do the parts created by Darats relate to the original LGEO library? Could these potentially be re-released under a different license?

I'm also curious to know why I keep spelling licence differently every other sentence

I found a GitHub repo here:

https://github.com/jncraton/lgeo

The license.txt is as follows:

Code:

(c) 1997 - 2018 Lutz Uhlmann

The LGEO library is a fan created collection of definitions for LEGO Geometrical Equivalent Objects (called parts from here on) to be used with POV-Ray. It is no way related or sponsored by
the LEGO Group and free of charge. It may be redistributed freely while copyright of the
intellectual property remains with the author. The LEGO logo displayed on the studs is under
copyright of the LEGO Group.

Maybe Damien or someone could contact the developer and get write access to update it with new parts?
