I don't.

I have bought and upgraded Moray several times.  I have bought Midnite 
Modellor.  I own a few keyrings, all the IRTC CD-ROMS, Gilles Trans Zebra  
poster is on my to purchase list.  That is just the POV community way.  
Over the years I have spent thousands buying shareware and making 
donations to open source software.  Your particle system would be high on 
my list for a donation if the terms of use were in the original stone 
soup spirit that started POV-Ray off.  What I mean by that is:

- GPL the include(at sourceforge would be nice).  
- Set up a wishlist at Amazon 
- Or a paypal button.

Take a look at the gifts that the Maintainer of AWstats(a wonderful 
package BTW) has received recently:

5494538?registry.reveal-purchases=true

My purchase from earlier this month has already scrolled off the list. 
Now I am not saying that you will have the same success, but I would 
wager that you would receive more compensation this way, because the  
people in this community do give back.

As it stands now I do not use your includes and IMP can not either.  
Please don't take this as an attack.  It is a plea to free the includes 
and trust the community to take care of it's own.

Tom
