| == History ==
| |
| | |
| [[James Jessiman]], during his free time, developed [[LDraw (program)|LDraw]] and [[LEdit]], the original LDraw programs. He received a lot of feedback and his system flourished. In late July 1997, James died of influenza after a short period of illness. The community was shocked of this. Instead of disappearing, however, LDraw began to be taken care of by the community.
| |
| In many volunteering hours, LDraw grew and grew. Many tools and parts were developed. Set inventories created. Colors researched. Images and videos created. Many things more.
| |
| At some point, [[LDraw.org]] was formed, the [[Steering Committee]] and [[Standards Board]] were elected, and the development of [[official part]]s was formalized a little more
| |
| to ensure a high quality and usability and consistency of those parts.
| |
| Today, [[LDraw.org]] takes care of [[LDraw]].
| |
| | |
| Eventually, in the 21st century, it was decided to re-license the library under the
| |
| [[Creative Commons]] Attribution license, forming the [[Contributor Agreement]].
| |
| Nowadays, all official parts are released with this new license model.
