Here is the list of files in the official library, whose original author has not affirmed the CA and and therefore need to be re-written by CA-authors. William Howard and Guy Vivan have already put a lot of effort in this task, with only a few parts left but also those have to be substituted. If anyone would like to re-write these from scratch - without copying the original author's work, then please do so and send to the LDraw admins (parts@ldraw*no-spam-please*.org) for submission to the Parts Tracker. As we go through the library to reformat the headers, we may find other files with significant changes made by non-CA authors. We'll deal with those on a case by case basis.

 Published By Holly-Wood on Jun 12, 2007 - 03:56 PM Over the past couple of years releases of new official parts have been
less frequent than in the past. LDraw.org would like to apologise or these delays and explain the reason why. About two years ago LDraw.org decided to move to a new license scheme (the Contributor Agreement) for the parts library. This new system has numerous advantages, perhaps most importantly the fact that most parts will now be distributable without having to include Complete.exe and ldraw027.exe (a problem for many new users) and can be included with other software without a separate parts installation. It has been a huge undertaking tracking down old part authors and asking them to agree to these new terms and a lot of people have put a huge amount of work into making this happen. The process is slowly reaching a conclusion now with the number of authors (and parts by those authors) nearing zero. Here is the list of files in the official library, whose original author has not affirmed the CA and and therefore need to be re-written by CA-authors. If anyone would like to re-write these from scratch - without copying the original author's work, then please do so and send to the LDraw admins (parts@ldraw*no-spam-please*.org) for submission to the Parts Tracker. Currently the PT admins are converting the old part headers to the new format. With almost 3000 parts to be converted one can glimpse the size of the task. Once the entire library is under the new agreement, the rate of release of updates will increase again. We thank you for not complaining about this and hope that in the mean time you will download parts from the Parts Tracker to fill any gaps you may have.
