It is mentioned in povlegal.doc. Specifically, this part of the 
"REVOCATION OF LICENSE" section:

"In this regard, "PC Format", a magazine published by Future
Publishing, Ltd. in the United Kingdom, distributed incomplete
versions of POV-Ray 1.0 in violation the license which was effect
at the time. They later attempted to distribute POV-Ray 2.2
without prior permission of the POV- Team in violation the license
which was in effect at the time. There is evidence that other
Future Publishing companies have also violated our terms.
Therefore "PC Format", and any other magazine, book or CD-ROM
publication owned by Future Publishing is expressly prohibited
from any distribution of POV-Ray software until further notice."
