Note that most Linux distributions do not require software to be GPL 
licensed to include it in their distribution.  In fact some of the most 
important core parts of nearly all linux distributions are under BSD or 
other licenses.

Also note that modifications of the POV-Ray license for version 3.6 made 
it specifically easier to include POV-Ray in Linux or other free OS 
distributions.
