Let me get this straight:

You ask if you may burn a freeware program on a CD together with other
freeware program(s) and give that CD to a friend?

If this is the question, then the answer is:

No!!!  By no means you may do so!  The POV-Team will send the police to your
house.  Get you arrested and put in prison.  Later you will be executed.

Obviously it is a clear license violation to if you make a physical
distribution of POV-Ray "for any purpose other than personal sharing".  And
it is obvious that burning POV-Ray and a bunch of other freeware programs on
a CD and giving it to a friend must be something else than "personal
sharing".  I suppose we should call the international war crimes tribunal
rather than a regular court to handle such a serious crime!

What other kind of penalty do you expect for making a copy of any freeware
for a friend?
