Numerous persons, including myself, have inquired about the availability
of translators for importing and exporting VRML models to other formats.
The following comment assumes that people lack a legitimate reason to
exchange model data:

>I'm not trying to be rude, please don't misunderstand...

I wish to exchange both 2D and 3D information betwesn both similar and
dissimilar design systems using VRML both a means to easily visualize
the information and as a meta model for other formats. Both parties
involved with the information exchange approve. I'm not a lawyer but
assume that if someone has a model that they wish to copyright or patent
there is a legal means to do so.
