For god's sake, I'll settle this down. IC DON'T BUILD SHIPS. Never have, never will.
Democritus is built by either DSE or OSC for OSC's use. Democritus infocard have no mentioning of IC building it, only that it was used by IC drunk captain to knock off a moon from its orbit.
In fact, the ship isn't even sold on IC bases, assuming that DSE builts it for OSC is because OSC doesn't build ships itself and order them from DSE. At any rate not IC.
Miranda, no one changes your lore, you fabricated that lore based on the fact someone decided to go to the wiki and edit the page so that producer will be IC, wanna know a secret? Even someone that have been around for 2 days can do it if he wish. In fact if I wish I can go ahead and change it to SCRA, does it make it SCRA made?
Oh and yes, I am part of the infocard writing team and so is Echo 7-7, mind you.
EDIT: IC have relation to the Renzu line, however, and it's generally regarded as the "IC line" since Renzu designs are often sold in their stations with IC taking off their shares off the sales.

We do use them primarily, but I thought that Renzu was an IND company. Wouldn't that make it an IND shipline?

Renzu is owned by IND and designs the vessels, IC is responsible for selling of it in their stations however.
Even ships like the Touketsu and the Shukensha are sold only on IC stations (and the freighter if you count Renzu shipyards as IC per their IFF). These are the closest you get to "IC line". Not that IC need any in my opinion, but yeah.
