I agree that the PovRay license is currently inadequate.  In fact, I think 
their whole software development philosophy is counter-productive... If 
they would just OpenSource it like most other free projects out there, and 
allow an open development process (similar to Linux), we wouldn't have to 
all be sitting here waiting in the dark for the next release.  Of coarse, I 
shouldn't be complaining, considering that PovRay is just plain awesome, 
but sometimes I get frustrated.  Just my 2 cents.
