	~~LDRAW.ORG PARTS LIBRARY AGREEMENT: CAreadme.txt~~

	~~1. Introduction~~

	~~The following is the README text for the LDraw Parts Library licenced by the~~
	~~Creative Commons Attribution Licence 2.0 as specified by the LDraw Contributor Agreement (CA).~~
	~~Parts which fall under this agreement will contain the following line in their headers:~~

	~~0 !LICENSE Redistributable under CCAL version 2.0 :~~ see ~~CAreadme.txt~~

	~~However this text is not a license! It is simply a handy reference for understanding the~~
	~~Legal Code (the full license), which can be found in the CAlicense.txt file — it is a~~
	~~human-readable expression of some key terms. Think of it as the user-friendly interface to~~
	~~the Legal Code beneath. This text itself has no legal value and its contents do not appear~~
	~~in the actual licence. For a deeper insight please visit:~~ http://~~creativecommons~~.org/~~licenses/by/2.0~~/

	2. ~~Rights~~

	~~You are free:~~

	* to copy, distribute, display, and use the CA approved LDraw Parts Library
	* to make derivative works
	* to make commercial use of the CA ~~approved LDraw Parts Library~~

	~~Under the following conditions:~~

	~~3. Attribution.~~

	~~You must give the original author credit.~~

	* For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the licence terms
	~~of this library.~~
	* Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright
	~~holder.~~

	~~The LDraw Steering Committee (SteerCo) also holds an attribution to 'The LDraw Parts~~
	~~Library' in such Derivative Works to be sufficient in lieu of a full list of authors.~~

	~~Your fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above.~~

	~~4. Enforcements~~

	~~The single copyright holders are the sole entity responsible for enforcements of their~~
	~~copyrights. For purposes of enforcement LDraw.org considers the following good rules of thumb~~
	~~to determine if a new file is not a Derivative work. Anything else should be considered a~~
	~~Derivative work and an attribution would be required. If in doubt contact the current LDraw SteerCo.~~

	~~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.~~
