A little reading goes a long way...
http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html

See: "CONDITIONS FOR CD-ROM DISTRIBUTION
CONDITIONS FOR SHAREWARE/FREEWARE DISTRIBUTION"
and "CONDITIONS FOR COMMERCIAL BUNDLING"

How much more exact do you want them to be?

If you can't be bothered to read: Basically you can't charge for Povray.
 And if you are distributing it on CD as part of a freeware bundle, you
can't charge a distribution fee for CDs containing Povray of more than 2
cents per MB.  But you really should read the license to get all the
details.
