The bottom line (afaik) is that this part of the licence is to prevent
unscrupulous sellers getting people to pay for a free program. If you ain't
doing that, I can't see what the problem would be. Also, as well as the fact
that you aren't modifying pov, it sounds as though you aren't really
distributing your progs either - in the sense that they are only available to a
clique rather than the general public.

A comment from someone who actually knows what they are talking about would be
useful about now....
