Precisely.  The comparison would be more apt if IMBJR's license to
use POVRay were to be revoked for generating these images.

If the POVRay license were to say that the software is not to be used
to generate offensive images, and that anyone who violated these terms
would lose their license to use POVRay, then maybe, just maybe, some
of this ranting would be justifiable -- and indeed, I'd learn a
different (lesser if necessary) raytracer, even though my skill level
with POVRay means any pornographic images I generate have the
aesthetic appeal of stick figures.
