I guess this will be changed with the release proper.

It depends on whether you install POV-Ray for all users, or for the 
current user only.

Note that this was already the case with POV-Ray 3.6x, and was actually 
done on purpose after some company or companies built their own products 
around POV-Ray without giving any credit, let alone informing their 
customers that the same render quality can be had for free.

Chances are POV-Ray 3.7 will come with a command-line only version for 
Windows again though.
