I have mailed with Jammes Jessiman about selling the parts, and
program he made.  This was his answer:

You may sell it as long as you keep the parts and program together
and proper.

He ment I could distribute it as if I was the internet
I could earn a (small)fee for the work (put it on floppy or CD)

I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you mean here.  On the second
last line, are you saying that you could distribute it on the internet,
provided that you keep the program and the parts together and made sure
that it was a fully working distribution?

Somehow, this seems to contradict what Leonardo Zide said, as he was
allowed to distribute the parts library _without_ distributing the
software as well.

YES, I know that is why I posted it !
This conversation with Jammes was in the early beginning of his Ldraw(1995).
I think Jammes wanted _his_ parts to be(come) a standard and because Leonardo
Zide made a windows based programm he wanted to embrasse that to.
His Idea seems to work !

But He didn't want to get _his_ parts missused !
So if I distrubated it 'off the NET', he wanted onley a complete package
(programm + parts) (his copyright!!)

  Sorry, I missed your post and now I'm replying to the reply. :)

  I was allowed to distribute the parts without the software only
because I was distributing them in a *modified* format. James didn't
want me to distribute the original .DAT files, he told me that I should
point the users to his page instead, but after I explained what I was
doing he only asked for a link to his pages.
