  The GPL licence does not prohibit making a *commercial* derivative work
using the GPL'd software and selling it for profit, as long as the source
code is included and the whole derivative work is licenced under GPL as
well.
  This contradicts the usage licence of POV-Ray, which expressly prohibites
using POV-Ray for commercial derivative works.
