I told you why:

"As a matter of fact the directive
is there for exactly this reason because in the past countless people did
not read any documentation and started to distribute unofficial versions of
POV-Ray that violated the POV-Ray license."

The license requires that you provide the information your are supposed to
enter there if you want to distribute the version you compiled.
