"It means that the other license and the GNU GPL are compatible; you can 
combine code released under the other license with code released under 
the GNU GPL in one larger program.

The GPL permits such a combination provided it is released under the GNU 
GPL. The other license is compatible with the GPL if it permits this 
too."

The POV license says it is incompatible with the GPL. The POV license 
does not allow redistribution under the GPL. You may not use GPL code in 
POV-Ray, you may not use POV-Ray code in anything but a fully-functional 
version of POV-Ray distributed in a way allowed by the license. Again, 
just read the POV license!
