I would include the source code as part of the renderer, since you can 
use the source code to extend the renderer. I might be a bit biased here 
though, since I am a patch writer...but I probably wouldn't be using POV 
if I couldn't get the source code.
BTW, POV-Ray is not "Open Source". It is copyrighted freeware with 
source code available, but there are restrictions on what you are 
allowed to do with it. I understand what you mean though...the source is 
available for modification and extension.
