Actually I think POV-4 will be LGPL which is "freer" than GPLv3,
correct me if I'm wrong.

As for "Open Source" I'm not sure what manner of source
code publishing is considered to pass muster by the lawyers.
Fairly current (February) beta source for 3.7 v25b is available at
http://www.povray.org/beta/source/
POV probably could benefit from a code repository though...
Setting up VS C++ 2005 Express (free "beer") to
use the Zoom library is non-trivial, so it might be good to
figure out a way to patch the compiler with libraries and
stuff from a repository. Eventually that should take some of
the pressure off of Chris Cason, who is doing the majority
of new code.
