This is very cool, glad to see an opensource version of brick building. As a Dane (Lego's Danish), I'm impressed that you manage to navigate the numerous pitfalls with copyright infringement and the like.

Also glad to see it being GPLv2 licensed.




Hm still their logo is used in one of the model screenshots. I cannot imagine this will be tolerated.
